One of the oldest titles of the House of Medinaceli is the marquisate of Cogolludo, traditionally borne by the heir to the Dukedom of Medinaceli itself. The palace of the marquises of Cogolludo is a gem of pure Spanish renaissance architecture, constructed between c. 1402 and 1502.

It is one of a number of monuments most closely associated with the Dukes of Medinaceli.

It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural [historical and architectural landmark] in 1931.
