Palacio Insular de Tenerife, Government building in Plaza de España, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

The Palacio Insular de Tenerife features a rectangular layout with a central courtyard, five floors, and a basement in its central section point.

The construction of this administrative headquarters began in 1934 under President Maximino Acea and was completed in 1940 following architect Marrero Regalado's design.

The main hall contains marble walls and a grand staircase leading to the Assembly Hall, where José Aguiar created murals depicting aboriginal myths and Spanish conquest.

Located at Plaza de España 1, this building serves as the headquarters of the Cabildo de Tenerife, the island's governing council.

The northeast corner displays a six-story clock tower with a carillon manufactured by Viuda de Perea in 1951, playing bells every fifteen minutes.
