Palacio del Príncipe de Anglona

The Palacio del Príncipe de Anglona is a baroque building located at the intersection of Calle Segovia and Calle de San Andrés, displaying a two-story Spanish baroque facade. The ground floor now serves as an educational institute, while the upper levels function as private residences.

Francisco de Vargas, an advisor to the Catholic kings and Charles I, began construction of this palace in 1530. The building underwent extensive renovation in 1776 under the direction of Vicente Barcenilla.

The palace name honors Pedro Alcántara Téllez Girón and Alonso Pimentel, figures who embodied Spanish nobility's power and influence. The interior arrangements still reflect the social standing of these families.

The building is located in an active neighborhood with good access through nearby tram lines and bus stops. Visitors should note that the private residential areas are not open to the public, and only the ground-floor institute areas can be viewed.

A garden at the rear of the palace was designed in 1761 by Nicolás Chalmandrier and features a spiral fountain made of glossy stone. The pathways are laid in herringbone patterns, creating a secluded retreat within the busy neighborhood.
