Hall of Realms, Museum building in Buen Retiro district, Madrid, Spain.
The Hall of Realms stands as a grand 17th-century building featuring classical architectural elements and spacious exhibition galleries within the Museo del Prado complex.
Constructed between 1630 and 1635 as part of the Buen Retiro Palace, this structure served as a royal performance space before becoming a throne room.
The halls contain historical paintings depicting the coats of arms of 24 kingdoms that formed Spain during Philip IV's reign, illustrating the nation's territorial reach.
The building integrates with the Museo del Prado campus, offering visitors access to extensive collections of Spanish art and royal portraiture throughout the year.
This structure remains one of only two surviving sections of the original Buen Retiro Palace, alongside the Casón del Buen Retiro.
