About
The Casa de los Vitoria (English: House of the Vitoria Family or House Vitoria) is a former palace located in Valladolid, Spain, which has been part of the Jesus and Mary School of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity of Vedruna since 1883. It is a palace from the late Valladolid Renaissance, commissioned by Luis de Vitoria. The large building draws inspiration from Herrerian architecture, evident in its exterior through the lintelled portals on Librería Street, featuring two sections and adorned with family coats of arms.
The palace's original layout has been modified by raising its height, covering its courtyard, and adding a section to the rear façade. However, it retains its original typological configuration: a palatial structure organized around a central courtyard with an exterior appearance rooted in classical tradition, partially obscured by modern crépi finishes.
