Palacio de la Merced

The Palacio de la Merced is a historical building in Córdoba, Andalusia, southern Spain.

Excavations in the site have revealed the presence of ancient Roman ashlars.

Later findings include medieval remains of a baptistery and of a crypt, identified with the Palaeo-Christian or Visigothic basilica of St. Eulalia, assigned by some scholars to the reign of king Reccared I.

The foundation of the palace is traditionally connected to Peter Nolasco, whom king Ferdinand III of Castile had donated the Basilica of St. Eulalia after the conquest of the city in the early 13th century.
