9 Museums in Moncloa - Aravaca That You Shouldn't Miss

October 26, 2021 Agatha Simes

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Museo Cerralbo

Reviewed By hilarionmartinez

Just got back from Madrid and have to share the pics I took at what I believe is Madrid’s BEST House Museum. The Museum Cerralbo houses the art and historical object collections of Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, 17th Marquis of Cerralbo, who died in 1922. The mansion was built in the 19th century, according to Italian taste, and is luxuriously decorated with baroque furniture, wall paintings and in my opinion the best chandeliers I’ve seen anywhere. If you like beautiful chandeliers do not miss it. It is near the Plaza de España Metro. The home retains its original aesthetics; the grand staircase will leave you breathless. It features an interesting collection of paintings, archaeology and furniture, including works by Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo Palma the Younger, El Greco, Ludovico Carracci, Alonso Cano, Zurbarán, Luis Paret and many more. This palace is my favorite home to visit in Madrid in that you see a great collection of paintings, furniture and decorative arts and experience what life was like for one of Madrid’s aristocratic families. It is SPECTACULAR!

Museo de America

Reviewed By rukshanaa2016 - York, United Kingdom

In a beautiful modern building with visual references to the past the history of the Americas is recounted with globes , maps , videos as well as a wonderful treasure house of artefacts . Spanish America is emphasized but eg the Inuits & other Far Northern peoples are represented . The beauty and workmanship of the ceramics and textiles particularly impressed me . Currently they have no cafeteria however - unfortunate but there are many choices nearby in Moncloa .
