The Alcázar de los Condestables de Castilla is a fortified palace located in the municipality of Medina de Pomar, in the province of Burgos, within the autonomous community of Castilla y León. Built during the second half of the 14th century, the structure serves as a significant historical landmark in the region.
The building was declared a historical-artistic monument belonging to the National Artistic Treasure on June 3, 1931, during the Second Republic. This designation was made through a decree published on June 4 of that same month by the provisional government.
Today, the building houses the Museo Histórico de las Merindades and holds the status of a good of cultural interest. It stands as a well-preserved example of medieval defensive architecture and noble history in the province of Burgos.
