The Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz is a 16th-century Italian-style building in Viso del Marqués, Spain.

History and description

The palace was built on behalf of Álvaro de Bazán, 1st Marquis of Santa Cruz.[1] The project, that reportedly kickstarted on 15 November 1564, was participated by the Italian architects Juan Baptista Bergamasco and Juan Baptista Olamasquín.[2] The interior was decorated with mouldings, doorways, fireplaces and frescoes, following the Genoese aesthetics.[3] The collection of frescoes has been noted among the highlights of the Spanish Renaissance.[4] The palace was declared national historic-artistic monument in 1931.[5][6][7]

Since 1950, the building houses the premises of the General Archive of the Spanish Navy.[8]
