Sobrellano Palace
(Comillas) |
|
Within 19th century
architecture, it is worth remarking on the Sobrellano ensemble formed by the palace and the chapel-pantheon, ordered by Antonio López y
López, first Marquis of Comillas. This is a clear
example of the history of the indianos, who,
returning to their hometown, built a house which
corresponded with their newly gained power and prompted
works to improve the place (roads, schools...). Around 1900, the Los
Hornillos Cottage was build in Las Fraguas,
introducing the influence of British architecture in
Cantabria, which achieved its culmination in the
construction of Magdalena Palace.
Finally, the Ocharan
residential ensemble in Castro Urdiales is remarkable,
being formed by the eclectic palace "Toki
Eder", a
castle inspired by the Gothic Revival-Mudéjar and which
has an Oriental pavilion.
