Casa de los Cáceres Ovando, Renaissance palace and tower in Plaza de Santa María, Cáceres, Spain
The Casa de los Cáceres Ovando features a prominent entrance with a half-moon arch and decorated windows protected by ornamental iron bars.
The construction of this palace began in the 15th century but was temporarily halted in 1480 by the Catholic Monarchs before completion in 1519.
Two medallions at the entrance arch corners depict the founders, while the frieze displays the Ovando family motto 'Aeterna iustorum memoriae'.
The palace maintains private status, yet visitors can observe the central courtyard through the entrance hall at Plaza Santa María 2.
The original plan included two symmetrical towers, but only one was completed, leaving an architectural layout that differs from typical Renaissance designs.
