The Palace of Bendaña or Paternina has begun to be reformed in 2010. The nickname, Paternina, is due to the famous painter of La Rioja with that name.
The budget reform amounts to 3 million Euros.
Haro is a unique city because of the amount of ancient cellars which houses.But, aldos, this city has a great historical and artistic heritage; between other significant buildings is the Palace Bendaña.
Located in the old medieval wall is a great example of Plateresque of decorative profusion. The building has three floors and is built in stone with special emphasis on its two facades (a sixteenth century and one of the eighteenth century) and the gallery s.XV Mudejar intertwined with stars and flowers, only in La Rioja.
As an important element of the architecture found in access, padded jambs, floral and angels in the segments of the lintel.

The rehabilitation of this Palace has been overseen by the Architects Alfonso Samaniego and Carlos Madrigal.
The Ministry of Development, Ana Pastor, has just opened the Palace, after rehabilitation. This new building will house the Tourist Office and the Municipal Library. But it also be used as a Musseum and in the Palaceshall be celebrate a Governing Council by the Regional Government. And, of course, it shall be opened for all people, every visitor.
