This Renaissance-style palace features a stunning cloister, 19th-century murals, and a Baroque window, making it a must-visit historic site for tourists.

Villena's Municipal Palace is located in Santiago Square, between the Casa de la Cultura and the Selva House. Built in the 16th century in Renaissance style, it was financed by Pedro de Medina, a priest and treasurer of the Church of Cartagena. Originally conceived as an Abbey House and School for the Church of Santiago, it was acquired by the Town Council in 1576 to serve as the Town Hall, jail, and grain depot. Its construction is attributed to Jacopo Torni, later succeeded by Jerónimo Quijano. Notable features include the portal with tenantes holding Villena's coat of arms and the lateral windows. The interior has a cloister with carpanel arches on Tuscan columns and a Session Hall decorated with 19th-century murals. The palace was damaged during the War of Succession and repaired in 1711 by architect Cosme Carrera, who added the Baroque window. In the 20th century, the facade was expanded and the patio restored. It was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1968.
