Santa Barbara Palace

Nestled at 87 Calle Hortaleza with a lovely view of Plaza Santa Bárbara, this striking building was designed by architect Juan de Madrazo y Kuntz back in 1866. It stands as a wonderful example of how French architectural ideas—specifically those of Viollet-le-Duc—made their mark on Madrid. The palace reflects a love for medieval and Gothic styles, focusing on a sense of 'honesty' in how buildings are constructed. It is one of the rare places in the city where you can see the 19th-century rationalist movement come to life.

Today, the Santa Bárbara Palace is a bright and welcoming venue right in the heart of Madrid. Whether you are planning a dinner, a cocktail party, a conference, or a creative photo shoot, its spacious rooms provide a unique and historic backdrop for any event.
