Palacio Ponce de León, Medieval palace in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
The Ponce de León Palace features Gothic and Mudejar architectural elements, with galleries opening into a central courtyard and decorative corner windows.
Built around 1400, the palace was given to Esteban de Villacreces for his service to King Enrique IV before becoming the residence of the Ponce de León family.
The palace interior displays a fusion of Islamic and Christian design traditions through its arches, pillars, and spatial organization adapted to local architectural preferences.
Currently operating as 'El Salvador' daycare center managed by the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, the palace includes the largest dining facility in the area.
The building underwent a two-year renovation in the 16th century that established new functional relationships between rooms based on solar orientation.
