Los Ribera Castle, Renaissance palace and castle in Bornos, Spain.

The castle features a central Italian marble fountain adorned with the Ribera coat of arms, surrounded by peralted arches and pointed balustrades.

Originally built as an Arab fortification, the structure was transformed into a Renaissance palace by the Ribera family following their journey to Jerusalem in 1520.

The Renaissance gardens, inspired by the Vatican's Belvedere, incorporate pools, fountains, and a variety of plants including myrtle, marjoram, boxwood, and cypress.

Visitors can access the tourist office located in the palace's patio from 10 AM to 2 PM and 6 PM to 8 PM during summer months.

The garden's loggia represents the only Pompeian-style image front in Andalusia, formerly decorated with mythological statues now displayed in Seville.
