Palace of the Infanta Carlota

The Palace of the Infanta Carlota is a palace building on Calle de la Luna in central Madrid, designed with classical architectural features and a distinctive vaulted entrance hall. The structure includes this vaulted entry as one of its characteristic elements.

The palace was built in the late 1700s and later served as a residence for a Spanish royal family member who returned to Spain in the 1840s. The building underwent significant renovations around 1850 by a local architect.

The palace displays the Spanish nobility's preference for classical design and elaborate interior decoration. This taste in styling was common among Madrid's wealthy residents during the 1800s.

The building is located in an accessible area of central Madrid that is easy to reach. The classical architecture and vaulted design require careful observation of the architectural details when entering.

The interior was once decorated with bronze lions and Pompeian-style wall paintings that reflected the refined tastes of its residents. These decorative elements were preserved until the early 2000s before being removed.
