Description

The Palacio de Soñanes or de Díaz de Arce is a timidly eclectic and fundamentally Baroque palace built at the beginning of the 18th century in Villacarriedo (Cantabria, Spain). Its design was commissioned by Juan Antonio Díaz de Arce y Pérez del Camino. Although it is disputed who its architect was, the master stonemason Simón de Arce and his team are known from documents. The palace was restored and converted into a hotel in 2001.
