Palacete de los Ocharan, Castro Urdiales

The building features ten ionic columns in double rows, with a dual-access side staircase and a four-sided roof topped by a classical tower.

Luis de Ocharan, a Bilbao entrepreneur and photographer, commissioned architect Eladio Laredo to construct this palace, which began in 1901.

The mansion incorporates glazed ceramic tiles created by Daniel Zuloaga, along with pink and white marble coverings that enhance its architectural features.

The property contains gardens with fifty tree species, including sequoias, coconut palms, and Ginkgo biloba, offering visitors a botanical experience.

The complex includes a neo-Gothic castle with battlemented towers built in 1914, housing an observatory that reflects the owner's interest in astronomy.
