The Renaissance palace of the family of Hernando de Zafra, secretary to the Catholic Monarchs, on the Carrera del Darro. The date of its construction, 1539, is carved at the top of the façade, and the work is attributed to Sebastián de Alcántara, a pupil of Siloé. In 1917 it was bought from the heirs of Leopoldo Eguílaz to house the Archaeological Museum, which still occupies it.
