Palace), a 13th-century fortress that was ordered to be built by Felipe
Augusto and that in the 16th century was rebuilt to house the royal
residence. From 1793 when the Revolutionary Convention is when it
becomes the museum it is today. This conversion from palace to museum
carries with it the convictions of the French Revolution of 1789, so that the
enjoyment of art ceases to be something exclusive to the upper classes to
open the doors to the first museum accessible to all types of public.

and there are 21 new rooms dedicated to Italian and Spanish painting of the 16th and
17th centuries. Here you can admire the main and true masterpieces such as the Venus
