Palacio Ducal de Béjar, Renaissance palace in Béjar, Spain.

This palace features a rectangular layout with corner towers, incorporating Renaissance architectural elements throughout its stone structure and exterior walls.

Originally constructed as a defensive castle in the late 13th century, the palace underwent major renovations by Francisco de Zúñiga y Sotomayor in the 16th century.

The palace received national historic-artistic monument status on June 3, 1931, marking its importance in Spanish architectural heritage.

Visitors can join guided tours on weekends from October through December, with tickets priced at 1.5 euros for general admission.

The palace houses a Camera Obscura installed in 2011, projecting real-time panoramic views of Béjar through a rotating biconvex lens system.
