Palacio de Ayete, Neoclassical government palace in San Sebastián, Spain
The Palacio de Ayete stands on hills surrounding San Sebastián, featuring symmetrical architecture and extensive formal gardens designed by Pierre Ducasse.
Built in 1878 by architect Adolfo Ombrecht for the Dukes of Bailén, the palace later became a summer residence for Spanish royal family members.
The palace currently houses the House of Peace and Human Rights offices on its first floor, while the second floor contains the Culture Centre workshops.
Visitors can access guided tours of the palace and explore the surrounding park, which offers panoramic views of San Sebastián and the coastline.
The former servants' quarters in the attic have been transformed into modern cultural spaces while maintaining the original Neoclassical structural elements.
