Palacete Rodriguez Quegles

Palacete Rodriguez Quegles, Cultural centre in Triana, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain

Palacete Rodríguez Quegles stands at the corner of Pérez Galdós and Perdomo streets, on the site of the former orchard of the Concepción Bernarda monastery. The Madrid architect Mariano Belmás Estrada drew up the plans and Fernando Navarro y Navarro carried out the work from 1900. The result is an eclectic mansion mixing foreign architectural and decorative styles, with Venetian stucco, frescoes, tapestries and marbles brought back to light in the 1990 restoration.

Juan Rodríguez Quegles, a lawyer, merchant and president of the Mercantile Society, commissioned the palace as a gift to his wife María Teresa González Díaz. Construction began in 1900 under Madrid architect Mariano Belmás Estrada, and Fernando Navarro y Navarro executed the project. The city bought it in 1972 for a music conservatory; after 16 years it closed, and restoration from 1990 revealed Venetian stucco, frescoes, tapestries and marbles. It was designated a historical-artistic monument on 12 September 1991.

The palace is the headquarters of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria International Film Festival and of the city's Philharmonic Society. It also serves as an exhibition space and a centre for coordinating cultural activities through the city council's CreActiva project.

The building is located in the Triana neighborhood, which is easily accessible on foot from downtown and has many other attractions nearby. Access to the interior generally happens during scheduled events or special visiting hours that vary throughout the year.

The exterior was repainted green after restorers relied on the memories of older neighbours to determine its original colour. The building was designated a historical-artistic monument on 12 September 1991.
