The palace that the Duke of Medinaceli commissioned from Juan Gómez de Mora, begun in 1625 on one side of the Plaza Mayor. A two-storey building around a courtyard, with two towers that were removed in the 19th century and recovered in a later restoration, it fell out of use and was almost a ruin until the works begun in the late 1990s. Since December 2008 it has housed a ten-room museum, with Roman mosaics from the town.
