Things to do in Liria Palace
The Liria Palace of Madrid is the residence of the Dukes of Alba. Considered one of the most remarkable private homes in Madrid, this neoclassical palace was built between 1767 and 1785 commissioned by the third Duke of Berwick and Liria. The palace passed to the inheritance of the House of Alba in the early 19th century, being nowadays the headquarters of the Casa de Alba Foundation.
Nowadays protected by Spanish law as a Property of Cultural Interest, the Liria Palace is also the home of a private collection of European art, including famous paintings by Spanish artists such as Goya, Murillo, and Zurbarán as well as international artworks of El Greco, Rembrandt, Rubens, among others. The palace also hosts remarkable engravings, sculptures from the Roman Empire to the Neoclassical period, as well as Greek painted ceramics, 18th-century tapestries, and archaeological finds.
The Casa de Alba Foundation worked to open the House of Alba collection as well as the duke’s palaces to visitors giving them the chance to book online the entrance for visits.

Reviews Liria Palace
“Es gibt kein Hop on Hop off, nur eine Rundfahrt, das ist nicht dasselbe - und nur 1 Einstieg beim Prado, sodass sich dort alles zusammenschob mit Anstehen. Ich würde es nicht empfehlen, da kann man besser mit den öffentlichen Bussen fahren, z.B. Linie 001 vom Prado bis über den Plaza Espana zum Nulltarif und da kann man Ein- und Aussteigen, wo man will !!!!!!!!!! Keine Information, nur Werbung an den normalen Busstationen, wo die Busse der Citytour immer durchfuhren - sehr ärgerlich”
“Always recommend a city tour to get your bearings. This company provided 2 routes and well worth doing both. Thank you”
“C'est le monument était splendide et on pouvait descendre faire des photos”
