Palacio de Sobrellano, Neogothic palace in Comillas, Spain

The Palacio de Sobrellano exhibits a rectangular layout with stone from Carrejo quarry, featuring trilobate arcades and a colonnade with winged horses decorations.

The palace construction started in 1882 under architect Joan Martorell's direction, commissioned by Antonio Lopez Lopez, who made his fortune through shipping companies.

The central throne room contains murals by Eduardo Llorens depicting historical events, including the inauguration of Comillas Seminary and the Chapel-Pantheon blessing.

The main floor remains the sole area accessible to visitors, offering guided tours through the billiards room, dining room, throne room, and library.

This palace became the first building in Spain to incorporate electric lighting, although the installation delayed a planned royal visit.
