Palacio de la Trinidad, Building on Calle de Francisco Silvela, Madrid, Spain
Palacio de la Trinidad is a state-owned building at 82 Francisco Silvela Street in Madrid, constructed in 1928 by architect Luis Alemany Soler, who two decades later co-designed the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. It later housed the Ministry of the Interior during the Spanish transition, the Cervantes Institute from 1999 to 2006, and was acquired by Pescaderías Coruñesas in 2015.
Built in 1928 by architect Luis Alemany Soler, who two decades later designed the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium with Manuel Muñoz Monasterio. State-owned, it housed the Ministry of the Interior during the Spanish transition (1976–1979), later the State Secretariat for Foreign Policy, and the CEOE. From 1999 to 2006 it was the seat of the Instituto Cervantes.
The palace's name comes from the Trinidad, the area of Madrid where it stands on Francisco Silvela street. Since 2011 it stood empty, and in 2025 Netflix filmed episodes of its first season of Salvador there, using the building as a shelter for Spaniards at risk of social exclusion. Pescaderías Coruñesas bought it at public auction.
The palace stands at Francisco Silvela street no. 82, in Madrid's Lista district, and is not open to the public: it was bought in 2015 by Pescaderías Coruñesas and is being converted to new commercial uses. It can be seen from the street; the interior, empty since 2011, is not visitable.
The building's architect, Luis Alemany Soler, later designed the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu with Manuel Muñoz Monasterio. In 2025 the palace appeared in several episodes of the first season of the Netflix series Salvador, where it plays the role of a reception centre for Spaniards facing social exclusion.
