The palace of Nájera is one of the most beautiful palaces in the city. A unique example of the civil architecture of the most powerful social classes of the city, the Palacio de Nájera presides over the Plaza del Coso Viejo and is home to the Museum of the City of Antequera (MVCA).The construction of this palace began in the first third of the eighteenth century. Its façade shows two clearly differentiated parts in time. The oldest, which corresponds to the ground and main floors, is from the early eighteenth century, while the tower-viewpoint and the body of the attic were built already in the second half of the referred century.This tower is the work of Nicolás Mejías, a master builder from Antequera. Its model responds to the typical scheme of civil tower antequerana, which had been repeated in the city since the sixteenth century.
