San Telmo Palace
Palacio de San Telmo, Sevilla, Spain
Description:
San Telmo Palace was built in neoclassical style in the late 17th century near Guadalquivir. The architect of this building is Leonardo de Figueroa. The author does not own only the portal, which was completed later in the 18th century and made in the style of churrigueresco.
From the very beginning, the Maritime School was located here, as indicated by the figure of the famous navigator San Telmo at the entrance.
In 1849, the school building became the residence of the Duke of Montpensière, who claimed the Spanish throne at that time. And during this period, the Palace became the center where conspiracies were committed against the current royal power.
Later this palace was presented to the Archbishop by Maria Louise Fernanda. In 1992, the building became the property of the Government Council of Andalusia.
