Pazo do Espiño, Modernist palace in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

The Pazo do Espiño features an irregular floor plan with multiple volumes centered around a central tower, displaying asymmetric modernist architecture across four levels.

Constructed between 1910 and 1915 by architect Jesús López de Rego Labarta, the palace was commissioned by Ramón Gutiérrez de la Peña Quiroga, a lawyer and university dean.

The structure incorporates Art Nouveau decorative elements, including sculptural works likely created by López Pedre, representing early 20th-century architectural trends in Galicia.

Located 650 meters from Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the property encompasses 23,000 square meters of grounds near the Sarela River and Monte Pío neighborhood.

The building stands as the only Galician pazo constructed in modernist style, featuring advanced construction techniques with iron beams and cement materials.
