Quintana Palace, 19th century mansion in Argüelles, Madrid, Spain
Quintana Palace is a 19th-century mansion in Argüelles with a rectangular floor plan and four corner towers extending across four stories. The building encloses a central courtyard and combines classical architectural forms with residential spaces.
The palace was built between 1868 and 1871 by architect Antonio Ruiz de Salces and has shaped the Argüelles area since then. From 1902 it served as a residence for Infanta Isabel de Borbón until 1931.
The palace displays a grand marble staircase and bronze railings that reflect the elegance of the Belle Époque period. These decorative elements shape the impression when walking through the rooms.
The palace is located at Calle Quintana 7 and currently serves as headquarters for the Spanish Air Force General Command. As a military building, it is not freely accessible to the public.
The main hall ceiling displays a large mural titled 'The Hours' painted by artist Emilio Sala. This artistic work is one of the building's most precious features.
