Palacete del duque de Plasencia, Madrid, Residential palace in Almagro district, Madrid, Spain

The Palacete del duque de Plasencia stands at the intersection of Monte Esquinza and Jenner streets, featuring French-style architecture with a rectangular layout.

Architect Joaquín Saldaña y López designed this residential building in 1912, incorporating architectural elements that defined Spanish urban development of that period.

The Norman Foster Foundation established its headquarters in this building in 2017, storing over 74,000 documents including drawings, photographs, and architectural plans.

The building maintains Level 1 protection status, which prevents any modifications to its original structure and facade due to its cultural significance.

Before becoming the Norman Foster Foundation headquarters, this palace served as the Turkish Embassy and later as a private banking office.
