Palace of the Marquises of Recano

The palace features a central courtyard with marble Tuscan columns, decorated arches, and a white marble main entrance with carved vegetative motifs.

Constructed around 1730, the palace served as the first location of Spain's Supreme Court in 1812 before its relocation to Madrid.

The building follows the architectural style of Cádiz-Genoese mansions, incorporating both classical and traditional Baroque elements in its design.

Located at 10 Marqués del Real Tesoro Street in Cádiz's historic center, the palace now houses the Manuel de Falla Conservatory.

The palace includes the Tower of Tavira, which became the official port watchtower in 1778, named after its first watchman Antonio Tavira.
