The Casa de los Penalva is a modernist palace located in the municipality of Huéscar, in the province of Granada. The construction was promoted at the beginning of the 20th century by Claudio Penalva Jiménez.
Work on collecting materials began in 1907, and construction started a few years later. The direction of the works was entrusted to Julián Ruiz Alemán, a renowned carver and sculptor, who assumed the design of the house and the execution of the exterior decorative program, as well as the forged elements and interior furniture.
While the house was built primarily in the modernist style, with the facade being the most representative element, the interior is dominated by elements of historicist eclecticism. The building is currently recognized as a Bien de Interés Cultural.
