Palace of Marqués de Grimaldi, Baroque palace building in Madrid, Spain.
The Palace of Marqués de Grimaldi exhibits classical design with rigid symmetry in the arrangement of entrances, windows, and three distinct floor levels.
Carlos III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct this palace between 1776 and 1782 for housing state secretaries and administrative departments.
The interior lobby features a remarkable staircase design by Jean Démosthène Dugourc, creating an optical illusion that expands the surrounding space.
The building serves as the Center for Political and Constitutional Studies, with access through Plaza de la Marina Española near Opera metro station.
Manuel Godoy decorated the palace with marble elements, frescoes, and displayed masterpieces including Goya's Maja paintings and Velázquez's Venus.
