Closed on Mondays.

The Cerralbo Palace, now Museum of the same name, was built between 1884 and 1892 in classic historicist style which is also seen in the garden. The Museum exhibits the collections gathered by Don Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, 17th Marquis of Cerralbo, and by his family. Paintings, furniture, clocks, porcelain, sketches, lamps, sculptures, weapons and armor, textiles, books, coins and archaeological objects are distributed throughout the different rooms where the daily and social life of its first residents took place. In addition, the Museum Cerralbo is one of the few examples in Madrid showing the original decorative atmosphere of an aristocratic residence carefully restored in the first decade of the 21st century.
