Palacio de Villardompardo, Renaissance palace in historic center, Jaén, Spain.
The palace features a central courtyard with thick walls, two-level colonnaded galleries, and Tuscan-style arches constructed with stone and brick materials.
The building, constructed in the 16th century for Fernando de Torres y Portugal, first Count of Villardompardo, served as a bank until the mid-18th century.
The entrance displays a marble inscription with Biblical text flanked by coats of arms representing Bishop Fray Benito Marín and Castilla.
The palace functions as a cultural center, housing exhibition spaces and the preserved Arab Baths in its basement level.
The restoration work completed in 1984 earned recognition from Europa Nostra for preserving both Renaissance architecture and medieval Arab baths.
