EXPLORE October 8, 2008 #460

El Palacio de la Magdalena està situat a la península de la Magdalena, a Santander, Cantàbria (Espanya) i va ser construït entre els anys 1909 i 1911, per subscripció popular, com residència d'estiu de la família del rei Alfons XIII fins l'any 1931 (proclamació de la Segona República Espanyola). Dissenyat pels arquitectes Javier González Riancho i Gonzalo Bringas Vega, va ser moblat el 1913, quan va ser inaugurat. El 1914 es van afegir les quadres, d'estil anglès amb teulades punxegudes de vessants pronunciats, entramats de fusta, etc.

Es tracta d'una obra eclèctica, que combina influències angleses, amb abundància de xemeneies, formes dels finestrals, així com aportis d'estil francès, com l'escalinata de doble tram de l'escala principal, l'asimetria dels cossos de l'edifici i també algunes pinzellades regionalistes.

L'edifici consta de dues entrades, una al Nord per a carruatges, amb pòrtic, i una altra al Sud, que és la principal, amb dues torreons de planta octogonal i una escalinata de trams dobles . El palau és de pedra de mampostería amb cobertes d'esquist. En l'interior destaquen els salons de recepció conservant alguns quadres d'interès, d'autors com Benedito, Sorolla, Sotomayor, etc.

Des de 1932 organitza els cursos d'estiu de la Universitat Internacional Menéndez Pelayo.

The Palacio de la Magdalena (Spanish for Magdalena Palace) is located in the Magdalena Peninsula, in the city of Santander, Cantabria (Spain) and was built between the years 1909 and 1911, and furnished in 1913, when it was inaugurated. Designed by architects Javier González Riancho and Gonzalo Bringas Vega, the palace was built in order to host the Spanish King Alfonso XIII and his family during their summer holidays in the Cantabrian capital. They regularly stayed in it until the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931. In 1914, the stables were designed by Javier González Riancho. They emulate a medieval English village with sharp roofs of steep slopes and wooden tiles.

The building has an eclectic style, combining English influences (as seen in the abundance of chimneys or windows shapes) and French and regional styles as well. It has two entrances, one at north for carriages, with portico, and another to the south, which is the main with two octagonal towers and a double staircase tranches. The building is covered with stone masonry slate. The interior highlights the reception rooms preserving some paintings of interest, of authors like Benedito, Joaquín Sorolla or Sotomayor.

Since 1932 the palace hosts the Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP) summer courses.
