About Palacio de San Telmo

The Palacio de San Telmo in Seville is now the seat of the autonomous government of Andalusia. Built in 1682, the building originally served as a naval school and went through several phases as an educational institution before functioning as an academy from 1901. Architecturally, the palace stands out for its Baroque facade of 1757, which is defined by atlantes and columns. You can visit the impressive courtyards as well as the palace's own Baroque church. One particular highlight is the gallery with twelve life-size sculptures of famous Sevillians, created by Antonio Susillo in 1895.
