Villa Mauresque, Hendaye, Neo-Moorish villa in Hendaye, France.
The three-wing villa features yellow stone windows, multiple stories, and arcaded galleries arranged around a central patio facing the Bidassoa river through five arches.
Built between 1866 and 1867 for Prince Jules de Polignac, son of Charles X's minister, using stones from the old fort of Hendaye.
The villa incorporates Arabic and Spanish architectural elements, reflecting the 19th-century interest in Moorish design patterns and decorative features.
The property opens to visitors during Heritage Days, with information about access and tours available through the Hendaye tourist office.
A marine cannon positioned on the garden terrace points toward Fontarrabie, firing ceremonial shots during local celebrations like the Tamborrada of Hendaye.
