Byströms villa, Embassy in Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden
Byströms villa, at Djurgårdsvägen 21, features Roman architectural elements including an atrium, rotunda, and lanternin built with Carrara marble from Italy.
The building was constructed between 1839 and 1844 for sculptor Johan Niclas Byström, later owned by jeweler Christian Hammer and Prince Carl of Sweden.
The villa houses the Spanish Embassy in Stockholm since 1928, when King Alfonso XIII of Spain purchased it for diplomatic purposes.
The building underwent substantial modifications in 1906 by architect Ferdinand Boberg, who transformed the interior while maintaining selected original details.
The property gained a connection to local folklore through its proximity to Davidsberg café, known as 'Fyllan', creating the phrase 'fyllan och villan'.
