Museo de Historia de Madrid, History museum in Madrid, Spain

The museum occupies a former Royal Hospice building with an ornate Baroque facade designed by architect Pedro de Ribera in 1673 on Fuencarral Street.

Originally established as the Municipal Museum in 1929, the institution underwent extensive renovations from 1955 to 1978 and received its current name in 2007.

The permanent collection spans from 1561, when Madrid became Spain's capital, through three distinct periods highlighting the city's transformation across four centuries.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM, with access through the Tribunal metro station.

The museum displays Francisco de Goya's 'Allegory of Madrid' along with detailed representations of historical celebrations in Plaza Mayor by Juan de la Corte.
