What to expect
Casa del Duque de Almodovar del Rio
Discover this magnificent 19th century mansion, unique in Comillas, as it is one of the few that remain in the hands of the family that had it built, preserving its original decoration. During the guided tour we will get to know the rooms on the main floor: the hall, the living room, the dining room, among others and a fantastic modernist style staircase, made with wood from the Fernado Poo colony in Guinea.
After the visit to the mansion, you can choose to combine it with a tour of the main squares and streets of Comillas, the largest exponent of Modernist art in Cantabria, knowing corners such as the Plaza de los 3 Caños, the Plaza del Antigua Ayuntamiento, the Palacio de Sobrellano and the Chapel-Pantheon, among others.
If you want a full visit, you can include Gaudí’s famous Capricho, a modernist building designed by the celebrated architect, at the request of the Indian Maximo Díaz de Quijano, noted for its ceramic decoration, its striking minaret and the prominence of vegetation and music.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
