Palace of Bertemati

The Palace of Bertemati is a historical edifice in Jerez de la Frontera, southern Spain.

It is a Baroque building, founded by the family Sopranis-Davila in the 18th century. Constructed on the most inner slope of the channel of the stream, they are two combined house structures in one building.. With the declivity of the family Davila at the beginning of the 19th century, the building underwent numerous transformations that divided it in two. The larger portion would become property of Jose Bertemati, a retailer who would make fortune and political prestige in Jerez, transforming it towards the new neoclassic tastes. The other, that sits on the corner with the present street Jose Luis Diez, after several unfortunate purchases, was transformed into an eclectic house where spaces Frenchified with other neonazaries are mixed.

Finally both properties would return to be united under the auspice of Monsignor Bertemati, who would yield them to the local Catholic diocese for use of the Sisters of Immaculate Mary in 1942.

The restoration began in 2002 and was finalized in 2006 taking place the transfer to the new Seat. Monteiro de Castro was inaugurated by the Apostolic Nuncio and the bishop of the diocese on 8 December 2005.
