Arbelaitz Palace, Baroque palace in Irun, Spain.

The three-story rectangular palace features two square towers at its ends and a prominent facade constructed with ashlar stone blocks.

Built in the 16th century by Italian military engineer Tiburzio Spannocchi, who worked for Spanish kings Felipe II and Felipe III.

The palace holds a collection of art pieces attributed to painters including Carracci, van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Murillo.

The building stands near Plaza San Juan, with its main entrance marked by two Doric columns supporting an entablature with triglyphs.

Stone inscriptions inside the portal record visits from numerous European royalty, including Henry III of France and Catherine de Medici.
