Casa de los Morlanes, Renaissance palace in Zaragoza, Spain.

The three-story brick building features rectangular windows with decorative pediments, semicircular arches, and a projecting cornice on its stone-based facade.

Built in the first half of the 16th century after the Jewish expulsion, this palace stands on the former location of Zaragoza's main synagogue.

Ten tympanums on the noble floor display sculpted biblical scenes, including King David's conquest of Jerusalem and Solomon's judgment between two women.

The building houses the Youth Information Office and Zaragoza Film Library, with exhibition spaces open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 21:00.

A menorah decoration on one of the tympanums acknowledges the Jewish community that previously inhabited this area during the Spanish Inquisition period.
