Palacio de Benacazón, Medieval palace in central Toledo, Spain.

The Palacio de Benacazón features a central courtyard with detailed plasterwork, ceramic tiles, and wooden ceilings following Mudéjar architectural patterns.

The palace dates back to the 14th century during Peter of Castile's reign and later belonged to the noble Pantoja family before becoming an Inquisition headquarters.

The building now operates as the headquarters of Caja Castilla-La Mancha Foundation, hosting art exhibitions and cultural performances throughout the year.

Located near Plaza San Agustín, the palace opens its exhibition rooms Monday through Friday from 18:00 to 21:00, displaying works by regional artists.

The central courtyard was known as 'Patio de los Presos' during the Inquisition period, reflecting its role in Spanish religious jurisdiction.
