Palace of Infantado, Renaissance palace in Guadalajara, Spain.

The Palace of Infantado displays a limestone facade with diamond-pointed decorations, a grand entrance portal, and an upper gallery facing Plaza de España.

Construction began in 1480 under Íñigo López de Mendoza y Luna, the second Duke of Infantado, and architect Juan Guas completed the main facade by 1483.

The Lions Courtyard combines Gothic architecture with Islamic decorative elements, reflecting the multicultural influences in 15th-century Spanish architecture.

The palace houses the Museum of Guadalajara and remains open to visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with free admission during morning hours.

The palace served as the wedding venue for King Philip II of Spain and Isabel de Valois in 1560, marking its significance in Spanish royal history.
