Palacio del Marqués de Viana
The Palace of the Marqués de Viana is one of the great Renaissance-style civic buildings in the province of Jaén. Construction began in 1501 and was concluded by 1548, when Don Díaz Sánchez de Quesada was Lord of the town, married to Doña Inés de Tabera. Thought to be the work of Don Pedro de Vandelvira, the palace has a square plan with Ionic and Doric architectural elements. Its main doorway, framed in marble by two pilasters with Ionic capitals, has a corbel on its arch and is topped by a frieze that alternates triglyphs and bull heads, instead of the typical metopes of the classical Doric order. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2006. Located on Calle San Marcos.
