Palacio de Cañete, Renaissance palace in Centro district, Madrid, Spain.

The Palacio de Cañete occupies an entire block between Mayor and Sacramento streets, with two lateral towers crowned by spires on its main facade.

Built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this palace served as the official residence of the Marquesses of Cañete before becoming state property.

The palace now houses the Sefarad-Israel Center, Casa Asia Madrid branch, and Japan Foundation, offering exhibitions, concerts, and cultural presentations.

Visitors can access free cultural activities and events organized by the Sefarad-Israel Center, which maintains a regular schedule of programming.

In 1654, the palace became the site of the Marquis of Cañete's murder, leading to the execution of religious figure Antonio Amada.
