Mudéjar Architecture. |
Its architectural style, a blend of Renaissance Mudéjar with influences from local design, sets it apart. With its striking appearance, the palace boasts two floors and a penthouse, connected by a Renaissance-style staircase. An interior courtyard featuring stone columns ending in semicircular arches reflects the classic Mudéjar architecture readopted during the Baroque period, adding to its charm and grandeur. |
Construction of the Palace of Beniel. |
Don Alonso Molina de Medrano ordered the construction of a palace to serve as a residence. The contract was signed in Malaga on December 6, 1609, and the work would proceed according to a plan delivered to the royal councilor D. Luis Tello Eraso by the commander with all the guidelines to follow, which unfortunately was not attached to the deed. The construction of the house began in January 1610, of which there is no further news until July 1612, when the work was practically completed, although some works remained pending. |
The last works on record date back to the year 1916 with the repair of the roof of the main hall. The final cost was 3275 ducats. |
Establishment of the entailment. |
Don Alonso Molina de Medrano had no children. One way to preserve what he left in a single heritage was to establish an entailment, and after his death, his entailment and possessions were bequeathed to his nephews, the Marquises of Beniel. Alonso Molina de Medrano made his will in Madrid and died in 1616. His remains were transferred to the main chapel of the Royal Convent of Francisco in Vélez-Málaga, where the remains of his parents were already laid to rest. He was the patron of this chapel and it was part of the entailment he founded. |
In 1861, in the city of Alicante, Doña Escolástica Palavicino, widowed Marchioness of Beniel and Peñacerrada, granted power to Don Juan Nepomuceno Enríquez, a resident of Vélez-Málaga and Provincial Deputy, to proceed with the deed of sale of the mansion owned by Don Antonio Pascual, Marquis of Beniel and Peñacerrada, in favor of the Hon. City Council of Vélez-Málaga. |
Municipal ownership. |
Later, in the 19th century, following the widowhood of the marquess, it transitioned to municipal ownership. As municipal property, it had multiple uses: grain market, Municipal Free Institute of Secondary Education in 1871, and from 1877, it also housed the Courts of First Instance and Municipal, the Civil Registry, Post Office and Telegraphs, and the Infantry Deposit Battalion. In 1899, the palace was vacated to convert it into a town hall, remaining as such until 1982. |
In 1988, this palace was fully restored and became the headquarters of the María Zambrano Foundation, located on the upper floor, where today visitors can explore the thinker's archives, which were donated to the city, as well as her magnificent library. It also houses the Department of Culture of the Vélez-Málaga City Council.The Marquis de Beniel Palace in Vélez-Málaga serves as the central hub for the local Department of Culture and the María Zambrano Foundation, making it the city's most significant civic structure. |

Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire |
The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire grew from the work of the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail which was founded in 1995 in Portsmouth, NH. The group's mission is to foster understanding and appreciation of African American history and culture, with the aim of creating more inclusive communities. They offer learning opportunities throughout the year including outreach to schools, guided and self-guided tours, mobile programs, lectures, and workshops. |
When the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail was first established in the 1990s, the walking trail included twenty-four sites within the city of Portsmouth, NH. The Trail began in an effort to make the history of the black people visible to people who live in and visit Portsmouth, NH. As of 2024, there are markers in ten additional towns and cities in New Hampshire and two markers in Kittery, ME. These additional markers were added as part of a Mapping Untold Stories program to share the rich history of Black people in New Hampshire. |

Indosylvirana intermedia |
Indosylvirana intermedia, or Rao's intermediate golden-backed frog, is a species of ranid frog endemic to southern India. |
The species was originally described as "Rana (Hylorana) intermedius" by Rao in 1937. It was later assigned to the genus "Hylarana", although a major reclassification led to most of the latter's species to be moved to new genera, with "H. intermedia" moved to the genus "Indosylvirana". Nonetheless, some publications still refer to the species as "Hylarana intermedia". |
"Indosylvirana intermedia" is found in the Western Ghats north of the Palakkad Gap, in the Indian states of Karnataka and Kerala. |
One "I. intermedia" specimen from Karkala, Karnataka was photographed with a living bonnet mushroom ("Mycena" sp.) sprouting from its flank. The frog was not caught, so nothing is known about the effects of the mushroom on the frog. |

In the following years the museum received several aircraft for display, including an F-4 in August 2015 and a C-130 from the closed Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum in May 2016. The latter was repainted in European camouflage in July 2017. |

Ascot Heath House was an English country house. The house was located directly across the road from the grandstand at Ascot Racecourse in Ascot, Berkshire and played an important role in activities at the racecourse during the late 19th and early 20th century. |
The property was given to Richard Cobden by an admirer of his free trade views. Cobden then sold it to John Thadeus Delane in 1858. Delane was the editor of "The Times" (London) from 1840 to 1877. There was a house on the property, but in 1868 Delane replaced it with a new design by Robert Kerr. In the 1860s and 1870s Delane often entertained nobility while they attended the races. Edward VII, at that time the Prince of Wales, was a frequent guest. Delane died at the house on 22 November 1879. |
After this, the property passed through various hands, all in some way related to horse racing. The Jockey Club used it as a clubhouse. George Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry, the Master of the Buckhounds from 1886 to 1892 and from 1895 to 1900, owned the property and renovated it in 1891. In 1899 he had a subway constructed under the main road so that honored visitors could move directly between Ascot Heath House and the Royal Enclosure at the racecourse. |
When the title of Master of the Buckhounds was abolished by the Civil List Act 1901, a new title, His Majesty's Representative at Ascot, was created to manage admittance to the Royal Enclosure at the Ascot Racecourse. The first holder, Victor Spencer, 1st Viscount Churchill, purchased the house and made many improvements. For example, a paved footpath was created across the gardens of the house, which happened to be located directly between the Ascot railway station and the racecourse. Spencer auctioned the property in 1914. |
The house was constructed in the Jacobean Revival style popular at the time. The architect, Robert Kerr, had recently completed the designs for nearby Bearwood House, a much larger and more ambitious project in the same style. The exterior was red brick with Bath stone details and white brick courses. The interior had paneled ceilings and was of a "simple, comfortable character, without display." |
The most notable aspects of the interior design were the location of the stairway, separate and to the side of the entrance hall, and the position of the house's public rooms (Morning, Drawing, Library, and Dining) at the ends of the 40' by 16 1/2' gallery, allowing all this space to be used simultaneously for the rather extensive entertaining that was done at the house during the Royal Ascot meeting and other racecourse events. |
