Palacio ducal de Medinaceli, Renaissance palace in Medinaceli, Spain

The palace features a symmetrical facade with two floors flanked by towers and balconies adorned with curved pediments on Plaza Mayor of Medinaceli.

Juan Gómez de Mora designed this residence for the Duke of Medinaceli in 1625, applying architectural elements similar to those at Lerma Palace.

The building contains Roman mosaics from the 2nd and 4th centuries, including one dedicated to the goddess Ceres with geometric patterns.

The ground floor houses ten exhibition rooms that showcase rotating cultural displays since the museum opened in December 2008.

The palace underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s after decades of abandonment that had left the structure nearly in ruins.
