Monte Pio Residence, Official residence in San Paio, Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Monte Pio Residence is the official residence of the President of the Autonomous Community of Galicia, located in the San Paio neighborhood of Santiago de Compostela. The building was designed by architect Manuel Gallego Jorreto and sits close to Parque de Galeras.

The building was constructed in the second half of the 20th century to provide a formal seat for the Galician regional government. It was among the first projects to give the newly restored autonomous institutions of Galicia a permanent home.

The residence reflects Galician architectural language and functions as a seat for regional administrative work. Its design shows how modern public buildings weave local identity into their structure.

The building is not open to the public as it is an active official residence, but the exterior and the surrounding area near Parque de Galeras can be seen on foot. It is an easy walk from the old town.

The residence was built on land ceded by the Instituto Nacional de Meteorología on a slope of the Casas Novas district, and an adjoining area was laid out as a public park alongside the project. The complex covers 25,000 m², or 70,000 m² including that green zone.
