This tops my list of must see places in Madrid. It is the former home of a wealthy gentleman who was part of the Spanish court. It shows what it really was to have lived in those times and is probably more realistic than the opulent Palacio Real in terms of how rich people lived. The house is designed so... More

The house of Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, XVII marqués de Cerralbo contains the fully preserved interior. Quite good collection of paintings. Very interesting as a real ambience of marques' life.

My third trip to Madrid. How did I miss this earlier! Highlight of the trip as we have seen the Prado and Palace before. This is better than the Palace in my opinion! They control entry so plan your trip and my advice is to go early AM.
