Overview
Stand on the other side of Carrera del Darro and admire the fine Plateresque façade before entering this beautiful Renaissance palace. It was built around 1539 for Hernando de Zafra, a soldier and nobleman who assisted the Catholic Monarchs in conquering the city. You'll see his coat-of-arms carved above the front door. Inside, after walking up the main staircase, you'll come into a central patio with galleries above you. The building is now home of the Archaeology Museum with a fascinating selection of artifacts ranging from the Paleolithic era to the Moorish occupation.
