Hotel Palacio Marqués de San Felipe y Santiago de Bejucal

El Palacio del Marqués de San Felipe y Santiago de Bejucal stands in the Plaza de San Francisco.

History and modernity merge into this building who was the property of Don Sebastian de Peñalver to the end of the eighteenth century and, early at the following century, it passed onto the IV Marquis of San Felipe y Santiago successors. The story goes about this building sheltering the Marquis of Montjoie and the mathematician François Nobion, both of them participants of the commission accompanying the Dukes of Orleáns and of Montpensier and the Count of Beaujolais, during their visit to the Island in 1798. Other traces marked the destiny of the building, which became also the residence, during the last months of his life, of the Count of Jaruco and Mopox, the father of the Countess de Merlin. He died in 1807.
