Palacio del duque de Frías, 18th century palace in Madrid, Spain.

The palace stands on Calle de Piamonte with a straightforward facade featuring two levels adorned with ornate balconies connecting to Calle de la Libertad.

In 1613, Juan Serrano Zapata, an ambassador to King Felipe IV, acquired the property and hosted Cardinal Zapata upon his return from Naples in 1623.

The sixth Duke of Osuna commissioned an opera theater within the palace in 1709, which became one of Madrid's most refined performance venues.

The palace underwent neoclassical renovations in 1807 under architect Manuel de la Peña y Padura, establishing its current architectural configuration.

In 1745, the eleventh Duke of Frías transformed the small theater into a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph, which later became an independent parish.
