Palacio López-Dóriga

Palacio López-Dóriga, 19th-century palace in Justicia district, Madrid, Spain.

Palacio López-Dóriga is a grand 19th-century residence near Paseo de Recoletos with an elaborately worked stone facade. The front displays Corinthian capitals on its columns and wrought iron balconies on each floor, all adorned with ornamental detailing.

Francisco de Cubas built the palace in 1872 on land that had belonged to the orchard and garden of the San Pascual convent, urbanised in the second half of the 19th century. Its rear wing, shaped like a hammer, dates from 1940. Rubén Moreno and Javier García-Izquierdo rehabilitated the building between December 1988 and October 1990, with Florentino Moretón collaborating.

The palace takes its name from Francisco López Dóriga, who ran a currency-exchange house (casa de giros) on the ground floor; the entrance was set to one side to leave room for it. The building later passed to José Lladó, president and main shareholder of Técnicas Reunidas, who bought it in 2014 for 20 million euros from Vía Célere.

The palace stands at Paseo de Recoletos 15, next to the Palacio del Marqués de Alcañices by the same architect and facing the Palacio del Marqués de Salamanca. It is a private residence owned by José Lladó, so the interior is not open to visitors; the entrance door and the balcony ironwork can be seen from the street.

The original side carriage entrance featured classical ornaments with finely crafted leaf and fruit patterns. These decorative elements remain visible today and show the craftsmanship typical of that era.
