Comillas

The Villa Quijano, better known as El Capricho, is a colouristic palace built between 1883 and 1885. Its surprising architecture, designed by the brilliant Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, has Gothic, Oriental, Mudéjar and Nasrid features. The arcade crowned by a Persian-style minaret deserves special mention.

This palace of palaces is made up of a complex of buildings from different eras and in many styles, from Islamic and Mudéjar art to Gothic and Baroque. The beauty of the profusely decorated buildings can only be compared with that of its gardens.
