The Palace with Four Inca Atlantes

The Palace with Four Inca Atlantes

The most striking feature of this palace’s portal is its distinctive Baroque portal, supported by four Inca figures representing atlantes.

The Palacio del Marqués de Salvatierra in Ronda, Malaga, Spain, is a testament to grandeur, adorned with a unique Baroque portal featuring four Inca figures as atlantes. The figures, each holding a rectangular pediment on their heads, support the palace's coat of arms. The palace is a monument, published in the BOE in 1982, and is a cultural property. Inside, the palace boasts a valuable collection of furniture and decorative and art objects of high quality, such as sculptures and paintings. The garden at the back offers a wide view of the Sierra de las Nieves. It is located near the remains of medieval city walls and its Arab baths.
