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
Även om det nu är residens i Madrid för hertigarna av Alba, är det inte svårt att märka att Palacio de Liria inte bär deras namn. Ursprungligen byggdes palatset för den tredje hertigen av Liria i slutet av 1700-talet, men sedan det överlämnades till Albas har det inte förlorat någon av sin ursprungliga härlighet.
Palatset är nu öppet för allmänheten, där du kan besöka 14 rum, beundra en av världens finaste privata konstsamlingar; med verk av Goya och Rubens; och lära dig mer om palatsets förflutna med en uppslukande ljudguide.
