Palacio Episcopal de Murcia, Episcopal palace in Plaza del Cardenal Belluga, Murcia, Spain.

The palace features two main facades, with the primary one displaying Ionic pilasters and a central balcony adorned with Bishop Rojas' coat of arms.

Construction began in 1754 under Bishop Mateo's supervision, with master stonemasons from the cathedral works contributing to its architectural development until completion in 1768.

The palace includes an imperial staircase, a three-arcade courtyard in Doric order, and a circular Rococo chapel inaugurated in February 1774.

The Episcopal Palace opens Monday through Friday with free admission, located adjacent to Murcia Cathedral in the historic city center.

The Martillo section extends from the main structure, providing a viewing point over the Segura River and the Paseo del Arenal promenade.
