Palace of the Duke of El Infantado

Next to the Carrera de San Francisco and the Plaza de los Carros you will find this typical 17^th century Madrid mansion with a simple and strict facade and richly decorated interior.

This mansion maintains the original 17^th century both exterior and interior partition with some remodeling done by the Duke of Infantado when he bought it in the late 18^th century. It is situated at a C-shaped lot with two stories with inner corridors, basement and an attic. It features an off-center facade. The main door has a crest of the noble Mendoza de la Vega family - Duke of Infantado’s ancestors - situated over the central balcony’s lintel. It leads into a hallway where you can see a Renaissance door taken from the Calahorra castle in Granada.
