Madrid: Palacio de Liria Ticket

At Liria Palace, visitors can experience the history of one of Spain’s most distinguished noble families, the House of Alba, through the documents, paintings, sculptures, tapestries, and other works of art preserved within its walls. As they walk through its magnificent rooms, guests can sense the legacy of centuries past and discover not only the story of one of Spain’s most prominent families, but also some of the most significant events in the history of Spain and the wider world. The Palace’s historic and artistic collections have been assembled over more than five centuries through the patronage and collecting efforts of the Dukes of Berwick and Alba. The origins of these collections reflect the refined tastes and cultural interests of the Palace’s residents, who sought exceptional works of art to adorn their residences. Paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, prints, documents, and books, together with an extensive collection of porcelain and decorative arts, are displayed throughout the Palace’s rooms for the enjoyment of both their owners and visitors, creating a truly unique collection. Among its many treasures are masterpieces by some of the greatest painters in European art history, including Goya, Velázquez, Murillo, Zurbarán, El Greco, Ribera, Rubens, Titian, Palma Vecchio, Jan Brueghel the Elder, Federico de Madrazo, and Franz Xaver Winterhalter.
