Banco de España Little-known gem of a museum

Calle de Alcalá 48 Madrid, Madrid 28014 +34 91 338 5000 http://www.bde.es/

The Spanish Central Bank headquarters house a valuable art collection that includes the work of artists like Goya, Salvador Maella, Sorolla and Zuloaga, as well as luxurious wall-hangings and antique furniture. The interior patio is used as a library and the beautiful staircase is made of Carrera marble. It occupies one of the best locations in Madrid, at major crossroads linking Plaza de Cibeles with Calle Alcalá, Gran Vía and the Paseo del Prado. After opening in 1889, it had to be expanded in 1936 and then again in 1975. The three distinct façades display diverse architectural styles. For admission, write to the Servicio de Protocolo (+34 91 338 5365) at the bank's address. Review © 2009, Wcities
