The Palace of Montemolino (Martino: Palacio de Montemolino) is an expansive palatial complex covering 200 hectares in the heart of Cárdenas, Nouvelle Alexandrie. Constructed between 1710 AN and 1718 AN under the guidance of the renowned architect Javier Montemayor, the palace features a grand Neo-Alexandrian Revival style, combining opulent design with practical functionality. While it serves as a residence for numerous members of the extended royal family, the complex is primarily a public institution, incorporating museums, offices, archives, and spaces for cultural and civic engagement.
The palace is home to the Royal Archives of Nouvelle Alexandrie, a significant repository of historical documents and artifacts that illustrate the nation's cultural and political evolution. It also houses offices for the Royal Household of Nouvelle Alexandrie and various non-profit organizations championed by the King of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Large sections of the complex are open to the public, including museums that display art, historical exhibitions, and the contributions of the monarchy to national development. Spanning its vast grounds, the Palace of Montemolino includes meticulously landscaped gardens, public parks, and walking trails, making it a cherished cultural and recreational hub for the citizens of Cárdenas and visitors alike.
