Description

The Palacio de Viana is a palace-museum in the Spanish city of Córdoba, situated in the district of Santa Marina, in the heart of the historic centre. On 27 March 1981 it was declared a bien de interés cultural in the category of monument.

The palace was built in the 15th century and has been enlarged over the centuries. Its name comes from the Marquessate of Viana, the last family to own the property. In 1981, after being acquired by the Caja Provincial de Ahorros, it was opened to the public for the first time with its twelve courtyards, the garden and the interior of the palace, which would make up some 6500 square metres. In 2019 it received more than 193 000 visitors, being one of the most visited cultural spaces in Córdoba.
