Palacio de la Torre, monument in Colombia

Palacio de la Torre, also called Casa del Capitán Gómez de Cifuentes, is a neoclassical colonial mansion in central Tunja. Its Moorish-style tower, modeled on the Monastery of El Parral, was built in honor of Isabel de Contreras, the wife of founder Gómez de Cifuentes. The 1939 remodeling kept some Tuscan columns.

Gómez de Cifuentes built the mansion with a Moorish tower modeled on the Monastery of El Parral, in honor of his wife Isabel de Contreras, who was from Segovia. It remained intact until 1939, when it was remodeled in a Republican neoclassical style with French touches, keeping some Tuscan columns. It is now the seat of the Boyacá departmental government and a museum.

The building serves as both a government center and museum, displaying portraits of regional political leaders that reflect the area's administrative heritage. These displays connect visitors to the local civic identity and historical governance.

The building is located in central Tunja and easy to reach on foot, especially when visiting nearby plazas and historic sites. Visitors can explore the interior where history is presented through portraits and period objects.

The tower follows the model of the Monastery of El Parral, a Gothic-Mudéjar complex in Segovia, and was raised by Gómez de Cifuentes in honour of his wife Isabel de Contreras, who came from that city. The pairing of a Segovian tower with a Tunja mansion is the detail most visitors miss.
