4.5Palacio Real de La Magdalena(2.622 reviews) - Cute Building Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Castles
The former summer residence of King Alfonso XIII until the end of his reign, and now owned by the city of Santander. The exterior of the building is built in a bizarre mix of different styles, especially the south-east facing side which looked like it could’ve been several houses joined together. There’s Neo-Gothic, Neo Renaissance, Flemish and Catabrian influences everywhere.See more..

THE CASTLE OF ARGÜESO: The Castle of Argüeso was built during the 13th, 14th and 15th century, on a 9th century hermitage. It belonged to Mendoza´s family, one of de most important families of the midle age in Spain. They were called "Marquis of Argüeso" by The Catholic King and Queen in 1475. Nowadays, the castle is owned by the municipality, and it´s opened everydays as a Cultural Center. Important: it is remarkable the rehabilitatio work that has been done, because all the wood (oak tree) were handmade by local handicraftmen: the Sobaler´s Family.See more..
The Chapel-Pantheon is located in the gardens of Sobrellano, and the style is Neo-Gothic. This was the work of the architect Joan Martorell. The work was finished in 1881. The material used was stone. The main façade has a tall tower. The interior has beautiful stained glass windows and the first furniture designed by Gaudi. There are pantheons of writers like Joseph Llimona and the Vallmitjana Brothers. This structure is like a small cathedral.See more..
