Casa de los Marqueses de El Carpio, Noble residence in Córdoba, Spain
The palace incorporates a medieval tower and defensive walls, featuring a Neo-Arabic courtyard and Roman remains in its basement levels.
King Fernando III granted this property to the Méndez de Sotomayor family in 1236 to protect the city walls following the reconquest of Córdoba.
