Palacio de los Cárdenas, Ocaña, Renaissance palace in Ocaña, Spain.

The palace features an octagonal stone pillared courtyard with 18 columns displaying intricate heraldic designs and decorative elements from various noble families.

Built in the late 15th century by Gutierre de Cárdenas, advisor to the Catholic Monarchs, the palace received royal visitors including Philip I and Joanna of Castile in 1502.

The building combines Gothic and Mudejar architectural styles, with geometric patterns, forged iron window grilles, and ornate wooden ceilings reflecting Spanish medieval craftsmanship.

The Palace of Cárdenas currently functions as the Palace of Justice of Ocaña, housing two Courts of First Instance and Preliminary Investigation.

The Gothic facade displays a large letter 'S', representing the Cárdenas family shield, while the interior pillars feature symbols of the Order of Santiago.
