The Casa del Almirante, also known as Palacio del Almirante or Palacio de los Cabanillas Berrozpe, is a Renaissance palace in Tudela (Navarra, Spain). It is located in the Old Town, near the town hall. The current mansion, built between 1520 and 1560, replaced a manor house from the 15th century. The first known owners were the Cabanillas Berrozpe, heirs of the Gómez Peralta. The current building is a three-story house made of brick, with a gallery of arches and a decorative roof.
The patio is rectangular and minimalist, following the typical Aragonese designs of the time. Between the balconies and the roof, there exists a relief frieze. The current owners of the palace are the City of Tudela, who purchased it in 2007 for cultural and educational purposes. Restoration work was done in 1997 and again from 2009 to 2010, which was completed and the palace was inaugurated in 2010. Now, it is used for cultural and educational activities in Tudela.
