Description

The Palacio de los Condes de Miranda (or Palacio de Avellaneda), also known as the Palacio de Zúñiga, is a Renaissance building of the first third of the 16th century, situated in Peñaranda de Duero, province of Burgos, autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain.

Its construction is owed to Francisco de Zúñiga y Velasco, third Count of Miranda del Castañar, and its authorship is attributed, although with doubts, to Francisco de Colonia or to Nicolás de Vergara.
