Palacio de las Dueñas
A 15th-century residence of the Dukes of Alba, with Gothic-Mudéjar courtyards and lemon trees. The poet Antonio Machado was born here.
The palace was built at the end of the 15th century and has been owned by the Alba family since the 16th century. The late 18th Duchess of Alba, Cayetana, often stayed here. The main courtyard is in the Gothic-Mudéjar style, and the garden is planted with lemon trees and bougainvillea. Inside, the rooms display family collections of paintings and porcelain, along with bullfighting and flamenco souvenirs. The Spanish poet Antonio Machado was born in the palace in 1875. Admission is about €12, including an audio guide. It is about an 8-minute walk northeast of the Metropol Parasol.
