Ayete Palace

The Ayete Palace (in Basque, Aieteko Jauregia) is a residential palace located in the neighborhood of the same name in the city of San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country, Spain. On October 17, 2011, the International Peace Conference of San Sebastián was held in the palace. Of neoclassical inspiration, it was built by the Dukes of Bailén in 1878 and designed by the French architect Adolfo Ombrecht. The San Sebastián City Council has rehabilitated the interior of the palace, and today it houses the House of Peace and Human Rights. Additionally, the northern gardens have been modified to build the semi-underground House of Culture.
