The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Princesa, Community of Madrid
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Just got back from Madrid and have to share the pics I took at what I believe is Madrid’s BEST House Museum. The Museum Cerralbo houses the art and historical object collections of Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, 17th Marquis of Cerralbo, who died in 1922. The mansion was built in the 19th century, according to Italian taste, and is luxuriously decorated with baroque furniture, wall paintings and in my opinion the best chandeliers I’ve seen anywhere. If you like beautiful chandeliers do not miss it. It is near the Plaza de España Metro. The home retains its original aesthetics; the grand staircase will leave you breathless. It features an interesting collection of paintings, archaeology and furniture, including works by Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo Palma the Younger, El Greco, Ludovico Carracci, Alonso Cano, Zurbarán, Luis Paret and many more. This palace is my favorite home to visit in Madrid in that you see a great collection of paintings, furniture and decorative arts and experience what life was like for one of Madrid’s aristocratic families. It is SPECTACULAR!

This is a historical building from the 17th century. It used to be military barracks for the Spanish army. Nowadays, it is a cultural center. It hosts a museum and also a historical library. The entrance door and the courtyard are just amazing.

Would highly recommend a visit here for the views of the city. Easy to get to by bus and a short walk. Entry cost €3, worth every cent! Wasnt busy while we were there, late morning. You go up in a glass lift - no good if you don't like heights! Views were stunning, with pictures showing what you were looking at. Highly recommended
