Castillo palacio de Cetina, Medieval palace and castle in Cetina, Spain

The palace extends 60 meters from east to west, featuring two towers at its ends and constructed primarily with masonry and brick materials.

King Pedro III of Aragon built the fortress in the late 13th century as a defensive structure against the Kingdom of Castile.

The palace chapel contains an inverted barrel ceiling decorated with plasterwork that combines Gothic and Mudéjar architectural elements from the 15th century.

The structure maintains two distinct sections: the eastern wing houses the original fortified areas, while the western section contains expanded residential spaces.

Writer Francisco de Quevedo married Esperanza de Mendoza in the palace chapel on February 26, 1634, though their marriage lasted only three months.
