Palacio de la Ribera, Renaissance palace in Huerta del Rey district, Valladolid, Spain.
The Palacio de la Ribera is a Renaissance building in Valladolid featuring three arcaded galleries on its northern side and a garden area with an observation tower to the south. The structures overlook the Pisuerga river and reveal the spatial layout typical of the era.
The design came from Francisco de Mora and was built between 1602 and 1605, when Valladolid served as the capital of the Habsburg realm. This period shaped the city's political importance and is reflected in its monumental architecture.
The palace contained over 500 paintings by masters including Rubens, Andrea del Sarto, Veronese, and Raphael, documented in a 1703 inventory.
The remains of the palace are visible as foundations along the riverside and provide insights into the original structure. You can explore the site on foot by walking along the river bank.
An innovative water pumping system designed by naval expert Pedro de Zubiaurre allowed boats to travel on the river. This engineering work shows the ingenuity of Renaissance technology.
