Palacio de la Magdalena

Perched on a peninsula and blending English, French, and regional Spanish architectural styles, the Palacio de la Magdalena was constructed in the early 1900s as the summer residence for the Spanish royal family. Today, it stands as a property of the city of Santander, open to the public for tours. Visitors can explore its grand interiors and learn about its rich history. During the summer, the palace also hosts university courses, adding a modern educational dimension to its legacy.
