Museo Nacional del Prado

The Museo Nacional del Prado forms a museum campus made up of several buildings located in the historic heart of Madrid: the Villanueva Building, the Jerónimos Building, the Casón del Buen Retiro and the Salón de Reinos (Hall of Realms). The forthcoming restoration of the last of these will round off the configuration of one of the most singular urban cultural sites in Spain, combining the architectural excellence of a historic figure, Juan de Villanueva, with that of two Pritzker Prize winners, Rafael Moneo and Norman Foster. In addition, the adjacent promenade, the Paseo del Prado, has been included to the UNESCO World Heritage in 2021, as a “landscape of the arts and sciences”, since it was one of the world’s first tree-lined avenues intended for public leisure, also embodying iconic transcendental institutions as the Museo del Prado.
