Visit Marqués de Villores Palace on your discovery of the charming historic centre of Sant Mateu.

Located in El Baix Maestrat, Sant Mateu is a small yet wonderful village that you’ll fall in love with as you soak up the history and heritage of its pretty streets.

One of the most important landmarks in the village is Palacio del Marqués de Villores, Marqués de Villores Palace. The Renaissance palace is located between Plaza Mayor (also known as Plaza del Angél) and Santo Domingo Convent.

Architecturally, the ashlar façade is defined by its Gothic style and features pilasters decorated with Grotesque ornaments, a noble coat of arms and a Gothic arch at the entrance.

The building was the principal residence of the Comí family, an important family of traders and lawyers throughout the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. Originally, it was a medieval-style palace, but its Renaissance restyling turned the building into the most impressive residence in the village.
