A 17th-century Tuscan-style palace in Cádiz, Spain: a testament to Italian

Experience the grandeur of the 17th-century Casa del Almirante, a Baroque mansion-palace in Cádiz, Spain, and marvel at the intricate Italian marble details and Tuscan columns.

Casa del Almirante, a 17th-century mansion-palace, showcases Italian marble from the Andreoli workshop adorning its exterior, particularly the Genoa-marbled portal. The main entrance features four symmetrical Tuscan columns, topped by a balcony with Salomon columns and a curved pediment displaying the family crest. Inside, a columned patio, an elliptical cupola staircase, and a grand marble staircase are found. The main floor salon, decorated with geometric moldings and vegetable motifs, is a testament to the palace's nobility. The tower lookouts with pilasters complete the structure.
