Don Pedro Fajardo y Chacón (ca. 1478–1546), governor of Murcia during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, assisted in suppressing the Moorish rebellions and was rewarded with the town of Vélez Blanco. Between 1506 and 1515 he erected a castle that included a central courtyard embellished with Italian Renaissance ornament in local Macael marble, carved by craftsmen from Lombardy. The patio was sold in 1904 and George Blumenthal acquired it for his New York residence. After Blumenthal's death the approximately two thousand marble blocks were brought to the Museum and reassembled, as faithfully as possible, in 1964. It surrounds the most important collection of monumental Italian Renaissance sculptures in America.
