Palacio de Fabio Nelli

Palacio de Fabio Nelli is a Renaissance palace in Valladolid with a central section flanked by two lateral towers constructed from stone and brick. The building now functions as a museum displaying archaeological finds and art collections spanning from prehistoric to medieval times.

A banker named Fabio Nelli commissioned the construction in 1576, but the project took decades because the original architect died during work. Pedro de Mazuecos El Mozo took over and completed the building in the classical Renaissance style.

The building now houses the Valladolid Museum, containing archaeological artifacts and artistic collections representing the region's heritage from Paleolithic to Medieval periods.

The palace is open several days per week and visitors should allocate enough time to see both the building's architectural features and the museum displays. Plan to spend a few hours here to appreciate the Renaissance details and explore the collections at a comfortable pace.

The palace stands as the most representative Renaissance building of the classical period in Valladolid, designed by architect Pedro de Mazuecos El Mozo.
