GAVIRIA PALACE AND DALÍ
This 19th-century palace is located on Calle Arenal, a stone’s throw from Puerta del Sol. Built between 1846 and 1847 by architect Aníbal Álvarez Bouquel, it was commissioned by banker and stockbroker Manuel Gaviria y Douza, Marquis of Gaviria. One of the most sumptuous palaces of its time, it is an example of Palazzo style architecture. Inaugurated by Queen Isabel II in 1851, this Palace was well-known for the parties it hosted, which could be seen by passers-by through the balconies. Boasting a wonderful interior, particularly noteworthy are the frescoes in the exhibitions rooms, painted by Joaquín Espalter y Rull. The building was declared a Place of Cultural Interest in 1977 (...)
Following extensive renovations, the palace reopened its doors on 25 March 2026 to host the permanent exhibition Infinite Dalí, dedicated to the sculptural artworks Salvador Dalí created from 1973 onwards and showcasing his lesser-known facet with a collection of 14 sculptures full of cultural references. These pieces, from the Clot collection, were created during one of the Dalí’s most mature and experimental phases and showcase the evolution of his artistic language towards forms that combine technical precision with the dreamlike freedom inherent to his creative universe. Each sculpture constitutes an exercise in virtuosity that underscores the versatility of an artist who never ceased to explore new means of expression.
