Palacio Pedreño, Eclectic palace in Cartagena, Spain.

The three-story Palacio Pedreño displays a central facade with Mercury representation and features white marble staircases within its interior design pattern.

Built between 1872 and 1875 by architect Carlos Mancha, the palace received decoration with 6,000 gas lights during King Alfonso XII's visit.

The neoclassical ballroom exhibits white and gold decorations, reflecting the architectural preferences of nineteenth-century Spanish upper society.

The palace stands at the intersection of Calle del Carmen and Calle de Jabonerías, operating now as Centro Cultural de Caja Murcia.

Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, appears on the central axis of the facade, demonstrating the connection between architecture and commercial activities.
