Palacio Episcopal de Orihuela, Episcopal palace in Orihuela, Spain

The Palacio Episcopal de Orihuela is an episcopal palace beside the cathedral of that city, featuring a rectangular layout with three floors and ornate Rococo decorative elements throughout its structure. The interior spaces blend architectural styles from different periods created through successive renovations.

The site belonged to Orihuela Cathedral's chapter, which built the Gothic Hospital del Corpus here in the 15th century; in the 16th century the hospital moved to the Raval Roig as San Bartolomé and the chapter kept the building as a canons' residence, of which some Renaissance rooms and a red marble staircase under a Renaissance dome survive. In the 18th century the canons built their own houses and the bishop took over the plot beside the cathedral, raising the present palace under Bishop Flores Ossorio, whose coat of arms crowns the main doorway. It was restored between 1999 and 2003.

The palace houses the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, displaying works by notable artists such as Velázquez and Nicolás de Bussy in its galleries. These collections reflect the religious artistic heritage that shaped the city's spiritual life over centuries.

The main facade faces Calle Mayor, and a second facade overlooks the Segura river. The palace was restored between 1999 and 2003, and the Diocesan Museum opened in early 2011. Entry to the noble floor is by the 16th-century red marble staircase under a Renaissance dome, reached through the cloister.

The private chapel occupies the upper floor of the Loreto chapel, which belonged to the cathedral; the mayordomos of the Santísimo Sacramento brotherhood, who ran a wax workshop there supplying the cathedral, gave the room to the bishop, who built his chapel on ground already sacred. Velázquez's Saint Thomas hung here before moving to the cathedral.
