Palacio de los Momos, Renaissance palace in Zamora, Spain

The Palacio de los Momos displays a sandstone facade with two floors, featuring heraldic motifs and decorative elements including animal figures and human sculptures.

Pedro Rodriguez de Ledesma, commander of Peñausende and knight of the Order of Santiago, ordered the construction of this palace at the end of the 15th century.

The palace facade contains numerous artistic details, from dragons and animal figures in the upper windows to nude sculptures at the portal crown.

The building now operates as the Provincial Court of Zamora, with the main entrance marked by a rounded arch containing heraldic decorations.

Scientific studies revealed two types of siliceous stone used in construction: Piedra del Pals for the facade and Piedra Mollar for sculptural elements.
