Palace of Linares, Palace and cultural property at Plaza de Cibeles, Madrid, Spain

The Palace of Linares features neo-baroque architecture with marble floors, ornate chandeliers, allegorical frescoes, and a Byzantine chapel on the first floor.

The building now functions as Casa de América, an institution dedicated to strengthening cultural connections between Spain and Latin American nations.
