Palace built in the 16th and 17th centuries, now housing one of the most interesting roman mosaics in the region.

It is a late Renaissance ensemble built at the beginning of the XVII century, but echoing palatial models of the advanced previous century. It has a horizontal façade with a portal in the centre, and main floor distinguished by balconies topped by curved pediments, except in the centre, where stands the ducal shield of the Medinaceli.

The Ducal Palace of Medinaceli organizes and offers the visitor: CURRENT ART and the CINEMA, OPERA, MUSIC, THEATER, FOLK and JAZZ festivals.

It is not a well-preserved palace, but its beautiful Renaissance Patio was rehabilitated at the end of the last century and the aforementioned activities take place there. The rest of the rooms have been adapted for social use with ephemeral architecture solutions. A Roman mosaic from the 2nd century found in Medinaceli and a lot of contemporary art that includes the private collection of the gallery owner and president of the DEARTE Foundation, Miquel Tugores, made up of 400 works by more than 150 artists. Six festivals of interest for an increasingly broad and specific public. From June to October we offer Cinema of the Depopulated Territories of the World, Early Music, Opera and Zarzuela, Theatre, Folk and Jazz.

The Maison D'EROS. Since October 2022, La Maison D'EROS and its Garden of Earthly Delights have opened their doors offering an agora where all the art disciplines of our century related to eroticism fit. A unique project in the world, unprecedented in the art market that deals with eroticism from all current artistic disciplines: Painting, sculpture, photography, watercolor, video art, etc. And the permanent collection of gallery owner Miquel Tugores that includes facsimiles of PICASSO.
