When visiting Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort, The Almudi Palace would be a great place to spend some time.
The Almudi Palace is a unique, imposing building located in the Plano de San Francisco and features many columns which recall the baroque style of Murcia.
The name Almudà comes from the measurement for grain, as it was once a grain silo for the city. All of the harvesters and merchants came here to trade in cereals while the town council handed out the wheat to the bakers.
The building was finished in 1440 by Esteban Fernández, and was reformed on various occasions throughout the XVI century. In the XVII century, some of its rooms were used temporarily to store weapons while the "Contraste" building was under completion.
The building later became the Law Court and today it is home to the City Archives, where the administrative documentation of the city and the "Huerta" has been kept since the XIII century. It is also an art center with an exhibition room in the grandiose hall.
