The Church of Santa María de Palacio (Spanish: Iglesia de Santa María de Palacio) is a church located in Logroño, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1943.
The reredos, created by Italian artists, was originally built for the Co-cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda, but the cathedral chapter rejected it because it contained coats of arms of the donor, Arnao de Bruselas, being donated to the church of Palacio.
In the 14th century, Don Rodrigo Alfonso de Medrano, lord of Agoncillo and its castle of Aguas Mansas, chief crossbowman of King Alfonso XI of Castile, was the founder of the chapel of Santa Engracia in the Imperial Church of Santa María de Palacio.[1]
