Balsera Palace, Art Nouveau palace in Avilés, Spain.
The palace features intricate exterior decorations, a V-shaped staircase, and a prominent tower with balconies overlooking the historical district.
Architect Antonio Palacios designed this residence in 1909 for merchant Victoriano Fernández Balsera during a period of economic growth from colonial trade.
The building now houses the Julián Orbón Municipal Conservatory of Music, offering professional degree courses in orchestral instruments and piano.
The palace underwent exterior restoration between 2011 and 2012 to address deterioration from environmental conditions, including facade cleaning and interior repainting.
The original property contained gardens comparable to Versailles in scale, though only a portion remains visible today near the structure.
