Palacio de Sobrellano

The neo-Gothic palace of the Marquis of Comillas, designed by the Catalan architect Martorell. Next to it is a family chapel with furniture designed by Gaudí.

The palace was built between 1881 and 1888 and designed by Joan Martorell. Its exterior is in the Venetian neo-Gothic style. Inside, the throne room has large historical murals, finely carved woodwork and a marble fireplace. The chapel-mausoleum beside it contains chairs and kneelers designed by Gaudí. The palace is managed by the Cantabrian regional government and can only be visited on a guided tour, for a few euros. It is next to the Capricho de Gaudí and the two can be visited together.
