Palacio de Borghetto, Early 20th century residential palace in Chamberí, Madrid, Spain.
The Palacio de Borghetto is located on Miguel Ángel Street and displays French Baroque style with several ornate rooms and decorative details. The building combines elegant interiors with an impressive exterior typical of early 20th century urban palaces.
The Marquis of Borghetto commissioned the palace, which was constructed between 1912 and 1919 by architect Ignacio de Aldama. During the Spanish Civil War, anarchist groups took control of the building, and later it housed Japanese diplomatic activities during World War II.
The building displays eastern decorative elements and the Sala Rosa, a room with pink walls, furniture, and fabrics from when it served as the Japanese Embassy. These rooms reflect the different cultures that have shaped this place.
The palace now serves as the headquarters of the Government Delegation of the Community of Madrid since 1986. Visitors should know that access may be limited as it functions as an official administrative building.
The building bears visible traces of its turbulent past, with changes ranging from anarchist control to Japanese occupation. These layers of history remain evident in the room layouts and decoration.
