Palacio de Borghetto

Palacio de Borghetto, Early 20th century residential palace in Chamberí, Madrid, Spain.

The Palacio de Borghetto stands at 25 Calle Miguel Ángel in the Almagro neighbourhood of Chamberí, Madrid. Built between 1913 and 1919 by architect Ignacio de Aldama for the first Marquis of Borghetto, Felipe Morenés y García-Alesson, it is a four-storey urban palace. Inside, the 'Sala Rosa' takes its name from the pink walls, furniture and upholstery, and oriental decorative elements remain from its use as the Japanese embassy.

Felipe Morenés y García-Alesson, first Marquis of Borghetto, commissioned the palace from architect Ignacio de Aldama in 1913 to serve as his Madrid residence; it was built between 1913 and 1919 at Calle Miguel Ángel 25. After its private residential use ended, it housed the Japanese Embassy following the Civil War, then the Diputación Provincial de Madrid from 1956, the Presidency of the Community of Madrid between 1983 and 1985, and since 24 July 1986 the Delegación del Gobierno in the Community of Madrid.

The palace's name comes from the Marquis of Borghetto, Felipe Morenés y García-Alesson, who commissioned it as his Madrid residence. Inside, the Sala Rosa takes its name from the pink walls, furniture and upholstery that fill it. Oriental decorative elements remain from the years when the building housed the Japanese embassy.

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 palace keeps Japanese decorative elements inside from its years as the Japanese embassy, and was restored in 1987. One room was called the Sala Rosa for its pink walls, furniture and upholstery.
