Centro Cultural Palacio de Villardompardo, Renaissance cultural center in Jaén, Spain
The Centro Cultural Palacio de Villardompardo occupies multiple interconnected buildings, including the palace, the Chapel of Visitation, and exhibition spaces in central Jaén.
Fernando Torres y Portugal, first Count of Villardompardo and Viceroy of Peru, constructed this Renaissance palace during the sixteenth century on eleventh-century Arabic baths.
The cultural center houses three distinct museums: the Arab Baths of Jaén, the International Museum of Naive Art, and the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs.
Visitors spend approximately ninety minutes exploring the exhibits, with guided tours available throughout the complex located in Plaza de Santa Luisa de Marillac.
The building incorporates an eleventh-century Arabic bathhouse designated as a Historical Artistic Monument, preserved beneath the Renaissance palace structure.
