Palacio de San Telmo, Baroque palace in Seville, Spain.
The Palacio de San Telmo is a monument in Seville, Spain, built in the baroque style with a rectangular plan and four corner towers. The Churrigueresque portal shows elaborate ornamentation from the mid-18th century, and several interior courtyards divide the inside into different zones.
Construction began in 1682 as the seat of an institution that trained orphaned boys to become sailors. Over the centuries the use changed several times, until the building eventually became the seat of the regional government.
Twelve stone sculptures show well-known figures from the city, including painters and writers, carved by the sculptor in 1895 for the facade. The figures look down toward the street and remind visitors of the long connection between the building and the arts.
Guided visits through the interior take place on two weekdays and must be booked in advance. The exterior and gardens are accessible only with an entrance ticket.
In the gardens stands a small building from 1893, considered the first example of a new architectural style in the city. The structure combines Moorish elements with late 19th-century forms and once served as the queen's sewing room.
