Plasencia - Palacio de los Marqueses de Mirabel

On the corner opposite the cathedral stands the Palacio de los Marqueses de Mirabel, who from the 15th century bore the title of Condes de Plasencia. The palace is built round a courtyard and garden, in which are some archeological remains. The finest room in the palace itself is the Salón de Carlos V, which contains a bust of the Emperor Charles V by Pompeo Leoni.
