Antoine, Duke of Montpensier's summer palace transformed into Sanlúcar de

Discover the fascinating transformation of a French royal couple's summer palace into Sanlúcar de Barrameda's town hall.

The **Palacio de Orleans-Borbón** is a historical monument in the Spanish city of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in the province of Cádiz. Today, it is the city hall. **Antoine, Duke of Montpensier** was the owner of the palace, which was built between 1853 and 1870 as a summer residence. For its construction, several pre-existing buildings were used, giving the palace a unique architectural style that combines Neo-Mudéjar and Italian Classicism in its facades, and a multitude of historicist styles in its interior rooms.
