2 reviews of Palace of the Dukes of Santoña

Tradional Madrid

Excellent

Located at 13 Huertas street, at the corner of Principe, lies this 16th century palace, which was later reformed during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. At the end of the 16th century, it was made famous for its occupant, the Prince of Morroco, Muley Xeque, who was also known as the Black Prince and was later Christianized and went on to be known as Philip of Africa.

The building was purchased by D. Juan Francisco de Goyeneche in 1731, the Marques of Ugena, and was known as the Goyenche Palace. Felipe V and Isabel’s banker trusted Jose de Churriguera and Pedro de Ribera with the building’s renovation. The last two were responsible for the works done on the main entrance that lies on Principe street and is of baroque style. Already in the 19th century, the Goyenche family passed the property to D. Juan Manuel de Manzanedo, the Duke of Santona, which gave it its current name. After many judicial ups and downs, the property was then passed to D. Jose Canaleja at the end of the 19th century, who lived there until his death in 1912. In 1933, the Camara de Comercia e Industria de Madrid (Madrid’s Chamber of Commerce) took occupancy of the building and have been the occupants ever since. The building is currently undergoing restoration and visitors cannot enter.


Walking around this traditional area of Madid is very pleasant and the amount of hotels and hostels is seemingly endless. However, I stopped at 18 Huertas street and went inside. It’s Casa Alberto and has been serving food for over 180 years. At the bar you can have a glass of vermouth with an appetizer while you wait for a table to open up and enjoy any typical Madrid-style dish on their menu (I’d recommend reserving a table). Both the price and quality are good.
