Palacio de Montarco, Ciudad Rodrigo, Renaissance mansion in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain

The stone palace features high beamed ceilings, carved finishes, a central cloister, and gardens within the historic district of Ciudad Rodrigo.

Built in 1499 by city mayor Francisco Hernández de Ávila y Tiedra, the palace served as a military headquarters during the French siege of 1810.

The facade combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, displaying the coats of arms of the original owners, Francisco Hernández and Aldonza Núñez.

The palace functions as a luxury hotel with three suites, eight reception halls, and a restaurant serving Spanish cuisine with local wines.

The 2007 renovation revealed hidden passageways connecting the palace to both the cathedral and the exterior of the city walls.
