Palace of Antonio de Mendoza, Renaissance palace in Guadalajara, Spain

The Palace of Antonio de Mendoza features a quadrangular central courtyard surrounded by stone columns and capitals following Italian Renaissance architectural patterns.

Lorenzo Vázquez de Segovia designed this palace in the 16th century, which later transformed into a Franciscan convent under Brianda de Mendoza's ownership.

The palace exhibits a combination of Renaissance and Plateresque elements, including an imperial shield of Charles V relocated from the city's Market Gate.

The palace currently houses educational institutions and remains open to visitors interested in exploring Renaissance architecture and Spanish heritage.

The alabaster tomb of Brianda de Mendoza, originally crafted by Alonso de Covarrubias with family crests and grotesque decorations, now resides in Michigan.
