Palacio del Marqués de la Sonora, 18th-century palace in central Málaga, Spain

The Palacio del Marqués de la Sonora features a marble entrance hall with Tuscan columns and a decorated façade with pilasters and garland friezes.

Built in 1789 under architect José Martín de Aldehuela's influence, this palace initially stored playing cards and paper for trade with the New World.

The palace underwent multiple transformations throughout its history, including serving as the La Minerva girls' school during the twentieth century.

Located on Granada Street, the palace stands near the Santiago Apóstol Church and Plaza de la Merced, making it accessible for walking tours.

Archaeological excavations beneath the palace revealed Roman remains, which have significantly impacted recent renovation plans for its conversion into a hotel.
