Buenavista Palace ((スペイン語:El Palacio de Buenavista) or ''El Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista'', "the palace of the counts of Buenavista") is a historical edifice in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. It was built in the first half of the 16th century〔(Palacio Condes de Buenavista ), www.ISOCanda.org, 1998, reproduced on picasso.tamu.edu (the Online Picasso Project), accessed online 2010-01-16, says "1530–1540", as does Remedios García Rodríguez, (Pasear por el centro de Málaga (2ª parte) ), Homines.com, portal of the Centro del Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, 2008-09-06, accessed online 2010-01-17. Javier Arroyo, (El museo del pintor en Málaga abrirá a finales de 2002 con 186 piezas ), ''El País'' 2000-06-09, accessed online 2010-01-16, says 1530. (Palacio de Buenavista, en Málaga ), ''Diario Sur'', 2007-08-02, accessed online 2010-01-17, says the first quarter of the 16th century. (About the Museo Picasso in Málaga ), europeforvisitors.com, accessed online 2010-01-17, says "built between 1516 and 1542 by Jewish converts". Those same dates are given by Javier Caballero, (La 'nueva casa' del maestro ), ''El Mundo'', 2003-10-04, reproduced on the site of the Online Picasso Project, accessed online 2010-01-18.〕 for Diego de Cazalla〔(Palacio Condes de Buenavista ), www.ISOCanda.org, 1998, reproduced on picasso.tamu.edu (the Online Picasso Project).

Declared a "Property of Cultural Interest" in 1939, it was leased to the Spanish government in 1946 for a provincial art museum, which opened in 1961. In 1997 it was acquired to house the present Museo Picasso Málaga,〔 which opened there in 2003.〔(The Collection: History ), Museo Picasso Málaga. Accessed online 2010-01-16.〕 It is located in the historic center of Málaga, in the Calle San Agustín〔(Monumentos de Málaga ), webmalaga.com. Accessed online 2010-01-17〕 in the former Jewish quarter (''judería''),〔Javier Martín-Arroyo, (La metamorfosis malagueña ), ''El País'', 2006-03-04. Accessed online 2010-01-17〕 next to the San Agustín convent and not far from the Cathedral of Málaga.〔 ==Architecture== Except for its towers, the Buenavista Palace is a two-story building. Its Plateresque façade is built of thick stone blocks; the ornament around the doors and windows is elaborate, although the rest of the ashar facades are simple to the point of austerity.〔Remedios García Rodríguez, (Pasear por el centro de Málaga (2ª parte) ), Homines.com, portal of the Centro del Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, 2008-09-06. Accessed online 2010-01-17.〕 The doors and windows are very large, and are placed asymmetrically. The design of the main entrance is of a piece with the balcony over the door. The interior is arranged around two ''patios''. The first patio is surrounded by a double colonnade (a separate colonnade for each story).〔 The other, farther in, is in the Mudéjar style, with octagonal pillars, and two Roman-era mosaics. One of these, from Cártama, represents the birth of Venus. The other, from Benalmádena, is in a geometric pattern.〔〔 The stairway at the right accesses the upper story, which originally had the same floor plan as the ground floor. The floor plans have been somewhat modified for the Museo Picasso Málaga.〔Isabel Cámara Guezala and Rafael Martín Delgado, (El encuentro del pasado y el futuro ), ''Diario Sur'' Digital. Part of the (Canal Picasso ) series. Accessed online 2010-01-18.〕 The palace is the most important example of seigneurial architecture executed after the 1487 conquest of Málaga by the forces of the Catholic Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand during the Granada War, the last war of the ''Reconquista''; Diego de Cazalla had participated in that conquest.〔 The architectural style is basically that of the Renaissance, with a Plateresque façade and Mudéjar aspects.〔 Some of those Mudéjar aspects may be directly inherited from the previous Nasrid palace on the site: Professor Fernando Marías states that the ''torre morisca'' ("Moorish tower") adjacent to the Mudejar patio dates back to the old Nasrid palace.〔 This combination is particularly emblematic of the period following the completion of the ''Reconquista''.〔 The chief Mudéjar element is the tower,〔 which resembles those of certain houses in Granada in its style of cornice and in the low ''alfiz''-style arches of its upper story, but is on a much grander scale than any found in that city. The basement is effectively an archeological museum in its own right, visible from above through transparent panels in the floor.〔(Museo Picasso - Málaga ), ''Diario Sur'' Digital. Part of the (Canal Picasso ) series. Accessed online 2010-01-18.〕〔(Taujel ), official site.〕 During the construction of the museum, there were a series of interesting discoveries. There are remnants of a city wall and towers dating back to the Phoenicians, of a Roman factory to produce the fish-based sauce ''garum'', and also of an earlier〔Simon Baskett, John Fisher, ''The rough guide to Spain'', Rough Guides, 2004.
