Discover Madrid's secret places through the painting of Francisco de Goya. In the Moncloa-Aravaca neighbourhood is the only surviving chapel of the three that used to exist dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. A neo-classical building is listed as a national monument, conserving all its value inside.

In 1798, the year in which it was completed, Goya painted "The Adoration of the Trinity" and, in the dome, portrayed "The Miracle of Saint Anthony of Padua". As a curiosity, in order to preserve its paintings, in the early 20th century a twin chapel was built beside it to use for worship, leaving the original building as a museum and pantheon to the artist with the same gravestone as he had in the cemetery at Bordeaux, where he died. 

Madrid de Los Austrias is home to the Jardín del Príncipe de Anglona or garden of the Prince of Anglona, one of the few surviving aristocratic gardens of the 18th century to survive and which is now open for visits. This cosy garden covering about 500 square metres was built as a place to relax, and while it has been renovated several times, it still has its original structure and neo-classical style, with Hispano-Arab touches.

In the centre of the garden is a small fountain built-in granite that seizes the attention, as it divides the space into four quarters with paths radiating outwards, laid in the "sardinel" style with bricks laid on end. One of Madrid's charming spots, located right in the city centre, which many people still do not know about.

The Cerralbo Museum is one of Madrid's best-kept secrets. This is a classical-style palace intended by the marquis of Cerralbo as both house and museum, who collected many works of art on his travels in Spain and Europe.

In its imposing rooms and halls over 50,000 pieces are on display, including paintings, sculpture, pottery, glassware, medals, books, coins, armour and archaeological artefacts, among others. But the most spectacular thing is that all its rooms still have the original décor, with neo-baroque and rococo features, recreating the lifestyle of an aristocratic family in the late 19th century. 

The Palacio de Liria, listed as a site of cultural interest, is one of the most spectacular corners of Madrid to visit. It is one of the capital's most imposing 18th-century neoclassical buildings, designed by architects including Ventura Rodríguez. This rectangular building is also known as the 'little brother of the Palacio Real', as it is the biggest private residence in Madrid, with 200 rooms and 3,500 square metres of floor space.

Apart from its architecture, the Palacio de Liria is also famous as home to artistic, historical and bibliographical treasures in one of the most outstanding private collections in the world. Its various halls display paintings, sculptures, tapestries, furniture, engravings, documents and books, as well as an extensive collection of porcelain and ornamental art. It is currently the principal residence of the duchess of Alba and the headquarters of the Fundación Casa de Alba.
