The palace of the Counts of Miranda in Peñaranda de Duero (Burgos) is one of the main palatial works of the Spanish Renaissance of 16th century Castilian nobility. Here we find a harmonious coexistence between the Gothic and Hispano-Islamic traditions and the emerging Renaissance trends. Previous studies have highlighted that the Renaissance in the Iberian Peninsula has not been adequately valued due to its hybrid nature. Studying works such as this one aim to deepen the understanding of the evolution of this architectural model in its passage from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The methodology has consisted of studying the architecture and its decorations from a morphological, geometric and decorative point of view and comparing them with those of other palaces of the time. For this purpose, drawings of its characteristic elements have been made from a 3D laser scanning and automated photogrammetry survey. Among these the coffered ceilings stand out because they define the typology from its roots. The visual and spatial hybridization present in this palace is the result of the confluence of a system of organization of guilds and construction, the previous existence of a repertoire construction techniques and decorative resources and the connection with humanistic ideas.
