Palace of Canto del Pico
Palace of Canto del Pico, Historical ruins in Torrelodones, Spain
The palace stands at 1011 meters altitude on a granite peak shaped like a bird's beak, overlooking 37 municipalities in Madrid province.
The palace, built in 1920 by engineer Antonio Ramos, served as a museum for Count Jose Maria del Palacio's art collection until 1940.
The structure incorporated architectural elements from various Spanish monuments, including Gothic columns from Curiel Castle and stained glass from Logroño Collegiate.
The building remains inaccessible to visitors, as it currently stands abandoned and deteriorated on the Red List of endangered heritage sites.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the palace functioned as the headquarters for the Republican Army High Command.
