Palacio de la Diputación de Palencia, Provincial government palace in Palencia, Spain
The Palacio de la Diputación is a provincial government palace in Palencia featuring Neo-Plateresque style architecture. Its facade displays three semi-circular arches above the entrance doors, adorned with decorated stone columns and an ornamental balcony bearing provincial coats of arms.
Construction began in 1906 under architect Jerónimo Arroyo and the building was officially opened in 1914. This marked an important development in Palencia's institutional architecture during the early 20th century.
The entrance hall features Italian-style frescoes that catch the eye as you arrive. The interior staircase connects these decorative elements to a collection of paintings by artists from the region.
The building sits at Calle Burgos 1 in central Palencia and welcomes visitors during regular office hours with no entrance fee. Its central location makes it easy to reach on foot and explore without scheduling in advance.
The building uses Hontoria stone, brick, iron, and glass in its construction, materials that work together to create a sturdy and handsome structure. The facade is divided into three vertical sections and two horizontal levels, giving it a balanced composition.
