Casa Riquelme, Plateresque palace in Plaza del Mercado, Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
The Casa Riquelme displays stone ornaments that imitate silver filigree patterns across its two-story facade with Corinthian columns and mythological reliefs.
Fernando Álvarez designed this noble residence in 1542 during a period when families in Jerez competed to construct grand palaces in Renaissance style.
The upper section contains sculptural decorations depicting Constantine, Romulus, Remus, and characters from classical mythology representing the Riquelme family legacy.
The structure stands in deteriorated condition and requires substantial restoration work, despite previous attempts at rehabilitation through European funding initiatives.
The building exhibits advanced architectural elements that differentiate it from medieval designs seen in other family residences of Ponce de León and Villavicencio.
