Liria Palace

T he Liria Palace gives visitors the chance to live out the history of one of the most distinguished Spanish lin- eages through documents, pictures, sculp- tures, tapestries and other fine items. Those who tour its rooms can feel the impressions left by centuries past and get to know not only the story of one of Spain’s most well known families but also some of the landmark events in the history of the country and the world. The historical art collection was gathered by the Dukes of Berwick and Alba, patrons and collectors for over five hundred years. The origin of the collections at the Liria Pal- ace reflects the refined tastes and cultural leanings of its inhabitants, who sought out objets d’art to decorate their palaces. Paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, engravings, documents and books plus a large collection of porcelain and decorative arts are carefully displayed in the various rooms for the admiration of their owners and visitors, who can enjoy a truly unique collection.

LIRIA PALACE A Different Kind of Palace. An Exclusive Experience. The Liria Palace is not just a museum. It is the only palace in Madrid that is also a home . That makes Liria an exclusive artistic and historical space. A Full-Sense Experience Music, voices, pictures and words immerse visitors in the essence of the building, a place where people have lived, full of history and memories. Visitors feel, imagine and mentally recreate what life was like in each room with the help of musical scores and the voices of the people who lived there, gaining an understanding of the importance of Liria’s extensive picture gallery and marvelling over each detail of the breath taking decorative arts that adorn each room.
