Augustin Zulueta Palace, Historic palace in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.

The palace exhibits a square floor plan with surrounding gardens, featuring arches on the main facade and an ornamental coat of arms.

Commissioned by Ricardo de Augustin for his wife Elvira Zulueta in 1905, the palace construction was completed by architects Julian Apraiz and Francisco Luque in 1912.

The building now functions as the Museum of Fine Arts of Álava, displaying Spanish art from the 17th to 20th centuries and Basque art collections.

Visitors can access the museum through a modern entrance pavilion added in 2000, which maintains the architectural integrity of the original structure.

After Elvira's death in 1917, Ricardo transferred the palace to the Catholic Church, leading to his recognition as Count of Deávila in 1924.
