Palacio de la Generala, Gothic palace in Plaza de los Caldereros, Cáceres, Spain.
The palace exhibits a half-point arch entrance with large voussoirs and two shields representing the Ovando-Mogollón families next to a prominent window.
The structure, built in the 15th century for the Monroy family, gained its name from María Josefa de Ovando, who married General Antonio Vicente de Arce.
The building combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring a modified tower and a portal decorated with a semicylindrical machicolation.
The palace currently operates as the headquarters of the University of Extremadura, with administrative offices accessible through the main entrance.
Between 1860 and 1869, this noble residence served as the City Hall and later housed the Extremadura newspaper starting in 1923.
