The Palacio de Mora, located at Calle Ancha 26, Cádiz, is a cultural heritage site built in the 1850s. Known for its beautiful Carrara marble decorations, the three-floored manor house was designed by Juan de la Vega y Correa. Visitors can still see the original marble columns, ménsulas, and other Carrara-imported elements. The interior maintains its 19th-century grandeur, complete with Italian and French furniture from the period.
The sala principal, or salón Regio, is a rectangular room that retains much of the furniture from its 1862 inauguration. Notable is the palace's chapel, housing a statue of the Virgin del Rocío. However, the mystery surrounding the Palacio de Mora remains unexplained. Some speculate that the origins of the Carrara marble remain unknown, attributed to the strong connections of the palace's owner, Manuel Moreno de Mora, with Italy.
