This is a beautiful old castle from the 18th century. The style is Baroque and the palace was built on the remains of a medieval tower by order of the Marquis of San Esteban del Mar del Natahoyo.
It is currently one of the most symbolic buildings of the city of Gijón. Inside, is the International Art Centre.
The building surprises for its noble sobriety but also for the warm earthy tone of its walls.
Inside is no less surprising, because the narrow corners that open to small windows contrast with large rooms dedicated to art.
I went in to see a Glass and Porcelain exhibit and it was wonderful.
Free and very interesting. read more
