Hispanic Society of America Spanish Renaissance paintings

613 West 155th Street New York, NY 10032 +1 212 926 2234 http://www.hispanicsociety.org

Outside is an impressive statue of El Cid. Inside are paintings by Valazquez, Goya and El Greco. History buffs will enjoy seals from the age when the Roman Empire included Spain. There are also Valencia tapestries and a 15th century processional cross. The interior design resembles a cathedral, and effigies of many Spanish nobles line the terracotta floors. This outstanding collection of art from Spain and Portugal is definitely worth the trip uptown. Admission is free. The grounds also house the private American Academy of Arts and Letters.
