It is the largest palace in the Monumental City, since it occupied the space of almost twenty houses.

It has one of the most beautiful facades in Cáceres, uniting different architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Plateresque.
Alfiz, mullioned windows, shields, cartouches, medallions in the classical style and a finishing of facing griffins, similar to that of the Monterrey Palace in Salamanca, have made this building one of the most significant and reproduced in multiple supports (painting, photography, films …).
On the main façade we see a twin window with a semicircular arch and marble mullion, with an Ionic capital, and above it, the coat of arms of the Catholic Monarchs. Below the window, the Golfines shield held by two angels and a laurel with the inscription “Fer de Fer”, this gives us to understand that this palace was the place chosen by the Catholic Monarchs to stay when they visited Cáceres in 1480.
