Palacio de Montehermoso, Renaissance palace in Alde Zaharra district, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.

The two-story palace features an interior courtyard with basket arches and a Gothic-Renaissance facade designed by architect Fausto Íñiguez de Betolaza.

Built in 1524 by Royal Council member Hortuño Ibáñez de Aguirre, the palace received its name from the Marquis title granted to María Antonia de Salcedo in 1714.

The palace transformed into Centro Cultural Montehermoso Kulturunea in 1997, offering contemporary art exhibitions, workshops, and sound performances throughout the year.

Visitors can access the cultural center's online catalogue, rent spaces for events, and enjoy refreshments at the on-site café while exploring exhibitions.

The structure incorporates the former Water Deposit of Vitoria, expanding its original layout to accommodate modern cultural activities and installations.
