The Casa del Almirante, also known as Palacio del Almirante or Palacio de los Cabanillas Berrozpe, is a palace in Tudela (Navarra). It is located on Rúa street, next to the rear of the consistorial building. 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 decorated eave.
The patio is rectangular and of great sobriety, articulating according to the Aragonese schemes of the moment. Between the balconies and the eave, there exists a relief frieze. The owner María Forcada donated the palace to the City of Tudela in 2007 for cultural and educational purposes. Restoration work was done in 1997 and again from 2009 to 2010, and the palace was inaugurated in December 2010. Now, it is used for cultural and educational activities in Tudela through the Fundación María Forcada.
