Palace of Parcent, Urban palace in Madrid, Spain

The Palace of Parcent stands at 62 Calle de San Bernardo, in the Universidad neighbourhood of Madrid. Gabriel Valenciano drew up the plans in 1728 and building began in 1729; José Monasterio Arrillaga gave it a neo-Baroque remodelling in 1900. It is also called the Casa de los Siete Jardines, the House of the Seven Gardens.

Gabriel Valenciano designed the palace in 1728 and works began in 1729 at Calle de San Bernardo 62. In 1865 it was reformed, and in 1900 Manuel de Yturbe, Mexican minister plenipotentiary, commissioned José Monasterio Arrillaga to remodel it in a neo-baroque line. Later works were carried out by Luis de Landecho for the duchess of Parcent. The State acquired it, and in the 1940s it housed the Ministry of Labour; in the 1980s it was restored for the Ministry of Justice and declared Bien de Interés Cultural in July 1995.

The building is also known as the Casa de los Siete Jardines, a name recalling its former gardens. During its years as the Mexican embassy it was called the Palacio de Yturbe, after Manuel de Yturbe, Mexico's minister plenipotentiary in Spain, who commissioned a Neo-Baroque remodelling by José Monasterio Arrillaga in 1900.

The building currently serves as offices for the Ministry of Justice with restricted public access. Visitors should know that it functions as an administrative space and is not regularly open for tours.

The palace is also known as the Casa de los Siete Jardines, the House of the Seven Gardens, a name recalling the series of gardens that once belonged to the property on Calle de San Bernardo. During its years as the Mexican embassy it was called the Palacio de Yturbe, after Manuel de Yturbe, Mexico's minister plenipotentiary in Spain, who bought it and had it remodelled in 1900.
