Palacio de Carta, located at Plaza de la Candelaria 9, 38002 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, is an 18th-century building that blends Baroque and Neoclassical architectural styles. Constructed between 1721 and 1752 under the commission of Matías Rodríguez Carta, it features a façade of quarried stone and two traditional Canarian courtyards. The building has served various functions, including as the seat of the Capitanía General de Canarias, the Civil Government, and the Banco Español de Crédito in the 1950s.
