Palacio de los Marqueses de Villadarias, 18th-century palace in Antequera, Spain

The palace exhibits a three-story facade with six window bays and a central monumental doorway made of red limestone from El Torcal.

Construction began in 1711 under Francisco del Castillo y Fajardo, the second Marquis of Villadarias, who established residence in Antequera.

Stone cylinders and chains adorning the entrance commemorate the 1730 visit of King Felipe V and Isabel de Farnesio.

The palace remains closed to public visits, with exterior viewing possible from Calle Lucena in central Antequera.

The interior features a square courtyard with twelve Tuscan columns supporting brick arches, accessed by a grand staircase beneath an elliptical vault.
