Palacio de las Marismillas

Palacio de las Marismillas is a palace with colonial architectural features located in Almonte within Doñana National Park. The building displays ornate decoration and sits near where the Guadalquivir River flows through the protected landscape.

The palace was built in the early 1900s by Guillermo Garvey, a sherry producer. It became state property in the 1990s and has served as the official residence for Andalusia's regional government since then.

The palace forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site alongside Doñana National Park, representing the integration of architectural heritage with natural landscapes.

The palace sits within a protected natural area and is part of Doñana National Park with diverse ecosystems. Visiting requires advance planning since access is tied to park conditions and guidelines.

The building was created by a prominent sherry manufacturer as a private estate, preserving a piece of the region's prosperous trading heritage. This connection between enterprise and architecture shows how local sources of wealth shaped the landscape.
