The Palace of the Counts of Cocentaina, located in the municipality of Cocentaina, Alicante, Spain, is a 14th-century medieval building. This building originated as an old fortress with four halls and four towers on donjons crowned by merlons.

The art gallery of the palace shows works with artistic value like the gothic altarpiece of Saint Barbara or the altarpiece of Saint Anthony by Nicolás Borrás and the sacred Bible from the 15th century.
