The palace itself reveals in its details, namely the main staircase, the fact that it has been rebuilt in the XX century, I had hoped for a wider use of real coloured stone.

The palace itself reveals in its details, namely the main staircase, the fact that it has been rebuilt in the XX century, I had hoped for a wider use of real coloured stone.
Also the gilding didn't seem to have been made with gold leaf, which is a pity having in mind that it's not as expensive as people may think.
The library is beautiful Im its vibrant colour and the collection of historical books and documents is rather impressive. Would be interesting to study the entire archive.
As for the Art collection, I was really stunned. It is magnificent, a lot better then I expected, besides the very well known Goyas, one can find an enormous array of historical portraits I didn't know the House of Alba de Tormes posessed.
It's clearly a must see in Madrid.
Congratulations for the musealization.

Espectacular, no imaginaba que el palacio tuviese tantos salones, la exquisitez de su decoración, la cantidad de obras de arte y objetos no tienen parangón.

Om: Palacio de Liria
Selvom det nu er hertugerne af Albas residens i Madrid, er det ikke svært at bemærke, at Palacio de Liria ikke bærer deres navn. Oprindeligt blev paladset bygget til den tredje hertug af Liria i slutningen af det 18. århundrede, men siden det blev overdraget til Albas, har det ikke mistet noget af sin oprindelige herlighed.
Slottet er nu åbent for offentligheden, hvor du kan besøge 14 værelser, beundre en af verdens fineste private kunstsamlinger; med værker af Goya og Rubens; og lære mere om slottets fortid med en fordybende lydguide.
