Palacio de Biblioteca y Museos Nacionales

The neoclassical palace features a symmetrical design with grand columns framing the main entrance and multiple exhibition halls spreading across its floors.

Construction of the palace began on April 21, 1866, under Queen Isabella II, with architects Francisco Jareño y Alarcón and Antonio Ruiz de Salces directing the project.

The palace houses both the National Library of Spain and the National Archaeological Museum, containing extensive collections of historical artifacts and literary works.

Visitors can access the palace through public transportation, with multiple bus stops and metro stations located within walking distance of the entrance.

The building appeared on the Spanish 100 pesetas coin minted in 1996, representing its architectural and cultural significance for the nation.
