Franco's palace |
Paseo del Pardo s/n Madrid, Madrid 28048 +34 91 376 1136 http://www.arsvirtual.com/monum/arch_pardo/ciudad.htm |
El Pardo palace began life as a royal hunting lodge. It later became General Franco's official residence, and nowadays it is a museum and accommodation for visiting foreign leaders. Its great collection of paintings, textiles, antique furniture, and porcelain is open to the public. Roberto Michel's decorative ceilings and Bayeu y Maella's murals are particularly worth seeing. The prince's palace and the Quinta palace (closed for restoration work) are also part of this complex, 8km away on the outskirts of Madrid. The wooded gardens and restaurants here are popular with locals relaxing at weekends. Take the public bus (El Pardo-Mingorrubio) from Moncloa. Review © 2009, Wcities |
