The Petit Palace Canalejas is located in the historic centre of Seville, which the Almohad dynasty knew as Hispalis. It is just a few minutes from the cathedral, the Giralda, the Fine Arts Museum, the bullfighting ring, the shopping district and Isla de la Cartuja. The building dates back to the early twentieth century and was built by Fernando Rivas, valet to the prestigious architect Anibal Gonzalez.
