Inside it has a patio flanked by four galleries with columns with lowered arches on the ground floor and geminates with a hanging keystone on the upper part.

The Palace is a balanced building, of which its tower stands out, much higher than those of the rest of the palaces of the Monumental City, because when Queen Isabel, the Catholic, ordered the towers of Cáceres to be demolished, she made an exception for this one. which was then being built by order of Captain Diego de Ovando, a vassal and member of his Royal Council, who was allowed to build the palace and tower as he wished.

It is built on the ruins of the old Muslim fortress and the completion of the construction dates back to the beginning of the 16th century. On its façade, shields are combined with the weapons of the Ovando and the Mogollón, framed by an alfiz.

Recommendations: It belongs to the Ministry of Defense, inside there is a collection of weapons, funds donated by the Army Museum. You can visit the tower upon request. Exhibitions are usually organized with some regularity.
