Palacio de Amboage, Baroque revival mansion in Castellana, Spain

The three-story palace occupies an entire block between Lagasca, Juan Bravo, Velazquez, and Padilla streets, featuring French Baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Fernando Pla Peñalver commissioned the construction of this residence in 1914, and architect Joaquín Rojí completed the project in 1917.

The Italian government purchased the mansion in 1939, transforming it into the Italian Embassy in Madrid and establishing it as a center for diplomatic relations.

The building includes multiple entrances at Lagasca Street 98, Juan Bravo Street 14, Padilla Street 13, and Velazquez Street 77-79.

The property received the Madrid City Council's first prize in 1918 for excellence in private residential construction within the category of individual hotels.
