Palacio de la Condesa de Adanero, Madrid, Administrative palace in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain.

The Palacio de la Condesa de Adanero rises on Santa Engracia Street with three main floors and a basement level for service areas. The facade displays the architectural details typical of the early 20th century period.

Construction took place between 1911 and 1913 on the grounds of the former Royal Tapestry Factory situated near Santa Barbara Gate. This conversion represented a shift in how the area transformed from manufacturing to residential use.

The building displays the eclectic design style that defined early 20th century Madrid and was commissioned by Josefa Fernández Durán y Caballero. The architectural choices visible today reflect the tastes and values of that era in the city.

The building now houses various government ministry offices and administrative services. Access may be limited as it functions as an official workplace rather than a public venue.

The interior was designed with duplex residences for the countess's children, each with independent facilities and staff quarters. This unusual layout reveals how a wealthy early 20th century family chose to live under one roof.
