house actually exquisite palace order build given Pedro Enriquez head governor Andalusia son Don Fadrique Enriquez sponsored
The house is actually an exquisite palace. The order to build it was given by Pedro Enriquez, head governor of Andalusia, but his son, Don Fadrique Enriquez, sponsored the construction after returning from his trip to the Holy Land in 1519. The house was designed as a copy of the praetory of the procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate. The architecture combines the Mudejar, Gothic and Renaissance styles, and the house was also decorated with Roman-Classical sculptures. The Palace of the Duke of Alcala was designed by Neapolitan architect Benvenuto Tortello in 1568. It is a late-Roman style palace, characterized by superimposed balconies that look toward the closed garden. Niches house the archaeological collection the Duke had assembled in Naples when he served as viceroy of Philip II of Spain from 1558.
