Palace of Goyeneche, Baroque palace in central Madrid, Spain.

The Palace of Goyeneche on Calle de Alcalá is a large urban palace begun in 1720 to designs by José Benito de Churriguera and finished by his brother Alberto. Its rusticated ground floor centres on a doorway framed by pilasters and free-standing columns, above which rise two storeys and a balustrade. The nearly symmetrical plan turns on a stair axis and two central courtyards.

The palace stands on the site of the old Mesón de la Miel, bought in 1724 by the Navarrese financier Juan de Goyeneche. José Benito de Churriguera designed it in 1720 but died in 1725, and his brother Alberto completed the building. In 1773 Charles III bought it from Goyeneche's heirs to house the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, and Diego de Villanueva remodelled the facade in 1774.

The building houses the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, which organizes exhibitions, educational programs, and artistic events throughout the year. Visitors can see contemporary and classical artworks while participating in cultural activities.

Visitors can join guided tours through the palace galleries to discover architectural details and historical features. Accessibility is ensured, and less crowded mornings and weekdays offer the best visiting experience.

The natural history collection of Pedro Franco Dávila, acquired by Carlos III in 1771, was meant for the palace's second and attic floors, but the War of Independence in 1808 stopped the transfer. The collection went instead to the building by Juan de Villanueva that later became the Prado, so the Academy and the Cabinet shared these rooms until the late 19th century.
