關於
The Palacio de Sobrellano, also known as the Palace of the Marquess of Comillas, is a Neo-Gothic palace located in the town of Comillas, Cantabria, Spain. It was designed by Catalan architect Joan Martorell and built between 1881 and 1888 on the commission of Antonio López y López, the first Marquess of Comillas, one of the wealthiest men in 19th-century Spain. In 2002 both the palace and its adjacent chapel-pantheon were declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest) with the category of Monument.
The palace is notable for containing furniture designed by Antoni Gaudí and for being the first building in Spain to use electric lighting, installed at the request of the first Marquess for one of the royal visits of King Alfonso XII. Today the palace is owned by the Government of Cantabria and is open to the public through guided tours.
