Palacio del Almudí, Baroque palace in Murcia, Spain.
Palacio del Almudí is a Baroque palace in Murcia featuring a grand facade with a central arch and a split pediment displaying the Habsburg royal coat of arms. The building contains multiple rooms and now operates as a municipal archive and exhibition center in the San Francisco district.
The palace was built in 1628 after lightning destroyed the previous structure. It originally served as a municipal grain storage facility before taking on different roles over time.
The Column Hall serves as an exhibition space showing regional art and historical pieces throughout the year. Visitors can see works by local artists alongside artifacts that tell the story of Murcia's past.
The palace is easy to reach in central Murcia and located in the San Francisco district. Visitors can explore the interior to view exhibitions and tour the historical rooms.
Sections of the original Arab wall remain visible inside the palace, functioning as a load-bearing structure within the building. These remnants show the city's long history and how builders incorporated earlier structures into the design.
