Palacio de los Condes de Alba y Aliste, Renaissance palace in Plaza de Viriato, Zamora, Spain

The palace exhibits a double-gallery courtyard with columns featuring medallions depicting mythological, biblical, and historical figures in the lower section.

Construction began in 1459 by Enrique Enríquez de Mendoza, the first Count of Alba de Liste, on the site of a former Muslim fortress.

The columns within the palace showcase carved medallions representing heroes from both the Old Testament and medieval Spanish history.

The palace operates as a Parador hotel, providing guest accommodations, two conference rooms, and an outdoor swimming pool in the garden.

The interior staircase presents two scrolled arches with Lombard-style friezes, contrasting with the exterior's plain architectural design.
