Palacio de los Verdugo, Ávila, 16th century palace in Ávila, Spain.

The palace features a granite ashlar facade with two protruding towers and a central entrance adorned with Plateresque architectural elements.

Construction began in the first third of the 16th century under the direction of Suero del Águila, who served as a stable master for Prince Ferdinand.

The palace maintains a Vettonian zoomorphic stone sculpture on its main facade, connecting the building to the ancient Celtic peoples of central Spain.

The building houses the headquarters of Heritage Cities of Spain, Municipal Archive, and Department of Heritage and Tourism, opening Tuesday through Sunday.

The central courtyard displays unfinished arcades decorated with floral motifs and coats of arms representing multiple noble families from Ávila.
