Palacio del Deán Ortega, Renaissance palace turned hotel in Úbeda, Spain

The palace features a rectangular layout with a central double-height courtyard supported by Renaissance-Nasrid style columns and elegant stone archways.

Fernando Ortega Salido, dean of Málaga Cathedral, commissioned architect Andrés de Vandelvira to construct this palace in 1540 during Spain's Renaissance period.

The building stands in Plaza Vázquez de Molina as part of Úbeda's UNESCO World Heritage site, representing 16th-century Spanish Renaissance architecture.

Visitors can access the interior courtyard without charge and stay overnight in the state-owned luxury hotel, part of Paradores de Turismo network.

The palace contains underground storage areas with ancient wine and oil vessels beneath the current café, connecting to the Taberna courtyard.
