Palacio de las Veletas, Renaissance palace in Cáceres, Spain.
The palace features two large Baroque coats of arms on its main facade, with a balustrade adorned by gargoyles and ceramic pinnacles at the top.
Built in 1477 by Diego Gómez de Torres and extensively renovated around 1600 by Lorenzo de Ulloa, the palace stands on the site of a former Almohad fortress.
The Palace of Las Veletas houses the Museum of Cáceres, containing extensive collections of archaeology, ethnography, and fine arts from the region.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with reduced hours on Sundays, offering free admission to European Union citizens.
Below the Renaissance courtyard lies a rectangular cistern with five naves formed by horseshoe arches supported by twelve columns, some dating from Roman times.
