Palace of Parcent, Urban palace in Madrid, Spain
The Palace of Parcent is an urban palace in Madrid featuring a grand structure organized around a central courtyard. Two wings face Calle de San Vicente Ferrer, creating a symmetrical layout typical of 18th century palatial design.
Construction took place between 1728 and 1730 under architect Gabriel Valenciano. The 19th and 20th centuries brought substantial changes as different owners modified the building.
Interior spaces show elements from the Palace of Guadalcázar, reflecting architectural tastes of Spanish nobility. This blend of different influences shaped how the rooms look and feel today.
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.
A rear garden on the property preserves original landscaping from the 18th century. This green space offers a quiet retreat within Madrid's busy streets and shows how much of the original design remains intact.
