Palacio de Abrantes, Baroque mansion in central Madrid, Spain.

The Palacio de Abrantes displays a symmetrical facade with ornate balconies and decorative elements characteristic of 17th-century Spanish architecture.

Built between 1652 and 1656 by Miguel de Soria, the palace changed ownership multiple times before the Duke of Abrantes acquired it in 1842.

The palace currently houses the Italian Cultural Institute, fostering cultural exchange between Spain and Italy through exhibitions and events.

The palace features imperial staircases and a throne room that has been transformed into an auditorium for contemporary cultural activities.
