Palacete del Embarcadero, Exhibition palace at Muelle de Calderón waterfront, Santander, Spain.
The palace features three cylindrical towers at its corners and a covered porch supported by columns on the northern facade, forming a square layout.
Built in 1920 under architect Javier González de Riancho's direction, the building initially served as a royal dock for King Alfonso XIII's summer visits.
The Port Authority of Santander transformed this former passenger station into exhibition halls that showcase regional maritime heritage and contemporary art.
Visitors can access the exhibition spaces without charge from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours during summer months and afternoon sessions in winter.
The structure combines maritime architectural elements with its gray exterior, replacing its original white facade and dark cornice from the 1920s design.
