Palau dels Altamira

Elx, Spain, Spain

Palau dels Altamira, also known as the Alcázar de la Señoría, is a late 15th-century castle-palace situated along the Vinalopó River in the historic center of Elche (Elx), Alicante province, Valencian Community, Spain.

Constructed by nobleman Gutierre de Cárdenas, the first lord of Elche under the Catholic Monarchs, possibly atop a 12th- or 13th-century Almohad fortress, its robust polygonal design features a prominent square main tower, cylindrical corner turrets, and Gothic-Mudéjar elements that served as a noble residence for Aragonese kings like Jaime II and Pedro IV.

Declared a historic-artistic monument in 1961, the restored structure now houses Elche's Archaeological and History Museum, showcasing Iberian artifacts like the famous Lady of Elche bust replica amid its atmospheric courtyards and panoramic views.
