The Episcopal Palace of Murcia is a historic building located in the city of Murcia, in southeastern Spain. It was built in the 18th century in the Baroque style by the Bishop Juan de la Torre y Castro, on the site of a former episcopal palace that had been destroyed in an earthquake.

The palace is located in the heart of Murcia's historic center, near the Cathedral of Murcia and the Plaza Cardenal Belluga. It consists of several buildings arranged around a central courtyard, with a grand staircase leading up to the main entrance.

The palace is renowned for its beautiful façade, which features a central balcony with an ornate wrought-iron railing, as well as numerous decorative details including reliefs, statues, and columns. The interior of the palace is equally impressive, with a series of lavishly decorated rooms that showcase the ornate style of the Baroque period.

Today, the Episcopal Palace of Murcia is home to the Diocese of Cartagena, which oversees the Catholic Church in the region of Murcia. The palace is also a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who come to admire its architecture and learn about the history of the city and the region.
