Palencia has natural reserves such as Fuentes Carrionas y Fuente Cobre-Montaña Palentina Natural Park, which provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife and is a destination for outdoor activities.
Palencia has several historical sites dating back to the Roman era and played a significant role during the Reconquista and in the later Middle Ages.

- Madrid 1901: A Historical Map of Spain's Capital ProvinceLocated in Langweer, NLThe map is of the province of Madrid, the capital region of Spain, as it appeared in 1901. Here are the key features it displays: The map shows the central part of Spain, with the Guadarrama mountain range prominently visible, marking the natural border to the north of Madrid. Blue lines likely indicate rivers, including the Manzanares River, which flows through Madrid, and the Jarama River, a tributary to the Tagus.

The map includes a legend (Signos Convencionales) that explains the symbols used for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other geographic features.

- Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'Located in Philadelphia, PAA fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...Category
