Hernan Riquel is about the man who built the Palace of Riquelme in Mercado Square. The palace was built by the Riquelme family as a display of power in the face of rivalry from other families from Jerez during the Middle Ages. For this reason, they chose the main square of medieval Jerez following the Reconquista, and it was designed in an advanced style, breaking the mold of traditional medieval architecture in Jerez.
