Accessible Space

Since its construction, the Palace has followed the "Design for All" strategy, creating an accessible environment and services regardless of age or functional abilities. The building is completely free of obstacles and architectural barriers.

We work in collaboration with the City Council of Santander and Tur4all in the continuous assessment of accessibility, and also collaborate with various associations to implement ongoing improvements.
