The Palace of San Telmo (Spanish: Palacio de San Telmo) is a historic edifice in Seville, southern Spain, formerly the Universidad de Mareantes (a university for navigators), now the seat of the presidency of the Andalusian Autonomous Government. Construction of the building began in 1682 outside the walls of the city, on property belonging to the Tribunal of the Holy Office, the institution responsible for the Spanish Inquisition. It was originally constructed as the seat of the University of Navigators (Universidad de Mareantes), a school to educate orphaned children and train them as sailors.
