San Telmo - a magnificent historic building in Seville on Avenida de Roma, which today is the seat of the administration of the Andalusian Autonomous Community. Construction of the building lasted from 1682 to the funds allocated by the Inquisition. The development of the project involved building an outstanding architect Leonardo de Figueroa. Initially the palace housed the navigation school for orphaned children of sailors. Since the mid-19th century, the palace became the residence of the Infanta Maria Luisa Ferdinand and her husband the Duke de Montpensier. After a while, Louise Infante Ferdinand gave the Seville Archbishop Palace. In 1992, the government of Andalusia purchased the building and placed here its headquarters.

The magnificent palace of San Telmo is a prime example of the late Baroque Seville. In terms of the building, designed in warm beige and terracotta tones, has a square shape, rise at the corners of the tower, topped with graceful spiers. Like most of the buildings of that era, the Palace of San Telmo has a courtyard, quite spacious and planted with trees. The most prominent part of the building is its main portal, created in the style Churrigueresque - Spanish varieties of the late Baroque. The magnificent carved portal, adjoined to the building in 1754, is decorated with a statue of Saint Telmo - the patron saint of sailors. Made of white stone, overloaded architectural and sculptural elements, the portal contrasts sharply with the general appearance of the palace. The portal was designed by Matias and Antonio Matias - son and grandson of Leonardo de Figueroa. The facade is decorated with 12 statues of famous citizens of Seville.
