Royal Palaces & Landmarks

Madrid’s architectural legacy is defined by its Bourbon-era grandeur and neoclassical design. This collection highlights the city's monarchical history through sites like the Sabatini Gardens and the 16th-century El Pardo hunting lodge. It features the 'Golden Triangle of Art' housed in aristocratic structures like the Villahermosa Palace and Juan de Villanueva’s Prado Museum. From the iron-and-glass Crystal Palace in Retiro Park to the eclectic Cibeles Palace and the lion-guarded Congress of Deputies, these landmarks showcase centuries of Spanish political and cultural heritage.
