Gipuzkoako Foru Aldundia-Diputación Foral de Guipúzcoa palace, Provincial government palace in San Sebastian, Spain

The palace exhibits a Second Empire architectural style with a main facade featuring rounded arches, triangular pediments, and decorative window frames across multiple levels.

Built in 1890 by architect Jose Goikoa, the palace initially housed both state administration and provincial offices until becoming solely the headquarters of Gipuzkoa government.

The attic displays medallion busts of Gipuzkoa's maritime figures, including Juan Sebastian Elcano, Antonio de Oquendo, and Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.

Located in Plaza de Gipuzkoa, the palace contains administrative offices, meeting rooms, and ceremonial spaces where provincial government activities take place.

The interior features a monumental marble staircase leading to a stained glass window depicting Alfonso VII's oath to the regional laws.
