Palacio de la Aduana, Neoclassical palace in Cádiz, Spain.

The Palacio de la Aduana features a rectangular layout with two inner courtyards and was constructed using local limestone known as piedra ostionera.

The palace, built in 1770 under King Charles III's orders, served as the headquarters for customs operations at the Port of Cádiz.

The Royal Hall contains decorative elements including marble work, tempera paintings, and carvings by Juan Rosado, designed under architect Juan de la Vega.

The building currently functions as the headquarters of the Provincial Council of Cádiz, located at Plaza de España 16.
