 palace, catholicism, listed building / architectural heritage
Its magnificent staircase dates from the 17th century, whilst the main monumental doorway and the building itself were completed in 1704.

The Archbishop's Palace stands on a site occupied by Roman baths, of which a vaulted chamber with alcoves - possibly the frigidarium - and the cistern of the Patio de los Naranjos have survived. The complex was donated by Fernando III to Bishop Don Remondo in 1251. This included "a group of houses in the Plaza de Santa María, with a cellar, a kitchen, a stable and a small interior grove". The palace we see today was built in the second half of the 16th century, when the layout was organised around two courtyards.
