Fontalba Palace, Private residence in Almagro district, Madrid, Spain.

The rectangular palace spans 985 square meters across three floors and a semi-basement, centered around a large glass-roofed interior courtyard.

Architect José María Mendoza Ussía designed the palace in 1911 for Francisco de Cubas y Erice, the second Marquis of Fontalba.

The palace exemplifies upper-class residential architecture from Spain's Alphonsine Restoration period through its interior layout and structural elements.

Located at Calle Fortuny 4 and Paseo de la Castellana 17, the building currently serves as headquarters for Spain's State Attorney General's Office.

The central glass-covered hall allows natural light to illuminate the interior spaces, creating a distinctive architectural feature within the structure.
