Located in Noja, Cantabria, Spain, Palacio del Marqués de Albaicín was built in 1916 by Leonardo Rucabado for Obdulia Bonifaz. Obdulia Bonifaz was the sister-in-law of Cristóbal Pérez del Pulgar y Ramírez de Arellano, who became Marquess of Albaicín. The palace, declared a cultural heritage monument in 1992, boasts a unique blend of styles, featuring a baroque main structure, a neo-Renaissance main facade, lateral volumes, and a neo-Renaissance tower with twin windows. The structure is made of load-bearing masonry and brick walls, with quoin and corner reinforcements. A small chapel attached to the palace has a portico of five Tuscan columns. Since 1997, the palace is owned by the Ayuntamiento de Noja and is used for cultural activities.
