Description:
This private half-day excursion starts with a visit to the famous Prado Museum, one of Europe's
top art museums.
At the Prado, three of Spain's greatest art masters are represented: Goya, Velazquez, and El Greco,
but you'll also find great works by Rubens and Titian. The Prado first opened in 1819 to display
the Spanish royal art collection and now the museum holds some seven thousand pieces of art.
The collection includes sculptures, drawings, paintings and other art objects, Spanish paintings
from romantic to 19th century styles, as well as important works by Italian, Flemish, French Dutch,
German and English artists.
After visiting the Prado, we make our way to the beautiful Palacio de Oriente usually called the
Palacio Real (Royal Palace). The Royal Palace was built on the site of the old Alcázar, the
moorish castle destroyed by fire in 1734. It is surrounded by the beautiful Sabatini and Campo del
Moro parks. The palace itself contains furniture, tapestries, paintings and ceramics as well as
other important works of art and frescos by Tiepolo.
