Monterrey Palace, Renaissance palace in Salamanca, Spain
The Monterrey Palace features a southern wing with Renaissance arches, detailed Plateresque decorations, and corner towers adorned with heraldic shields and mythical creatures.
Construction of the palace began in 1539 under architects Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón and Martín de Santiago, commissioned by the Third Count of Monterrey.
The palace contains two landscape paintings by José de Ribera from 1639, which represent the only known independent landscape works in his entire collection.
The Monterrey Palace operates from Tuesday to Sunday, with the Casa de Alba Foundation managing visits and organizing guided tours through its museum spaces.
Only one wing of the palace was completed from the original quadrangular design, which planned for towers at each corner and center of every section.
