Palacio de la Mosquera, Neoclassical palace in Arenas de San Pedro, Spain.

The palace features a central courtyard with a pyramidal fountain, five parallel bays, and a granite portico with three arches and six Doric columns.

Construction began in 1779 under architect Ventura Rodriguez for Infante Luis Antonio de Borbon, who moved to Arenas de San Pedro after his morganatic marriage.

Francisco de Goya visited the palace in 1783 to paint portraits of Infante Luis de Borbon's family, marking a period of artistic patronage.

The palace opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with visitor information available at the Arenas de San Pedro tourist office.

The building remains partially unfinished, with only two of the planned four towers completed, using regional gray granite in its construction.
