Palacio de la Merced, Baroque convent in Córdoba, Spain

The Palacio de la Merced features round arches on Tuscan columns in its rectangular cloister, with an imperial staircase connecting its two floors.

The palace stands on ancient Roman foundations, with archaeological excavations revealing remnants of a Visigothic baptistery and crypt from the time of King Reccared I.

The building houses artistic collections spanning different periods, including a 16th-century Flemish guild cup and numerous prints depicting local monuments.

The palace currently functions as the headquarters of the Provincial Government of Córdoba, with areas dedicated to temporary art exhibitions throughout the year.

A solar clock tower, added during the 1960 renovation by architect Rafael de La-Hoz, marks a modern addition to this historical structure.
