Lerma Ducal Palace, 17th century Herrerian palace in Lerma, Spain
The rectangular building features symmetrical forms with four corner towers, stone-framed windows, and balconies arranged in regular patterns across the facade.
Francisco Gomez de Sandoval, Duke of Lerma and minister to King Philip III, commissioned architects Francisco de Mora and Alberto de la Madre de Dios to build this palace in 1601.
The palace displays the architectural preferences of Spanish nobility through its granite columns, round arches, and continuous frieze on the second level.
The palace now operates as part of the Paradores hotel network, allowing guests to stay in rooms that maintain original architectural elements from the 17th century.
The palace entrance features a large walnut door with 520 bronze nails and two coats of arms of the house of Sandoval y Rojas above it.
