On the ground floor of this palace our guides will show you the Hall of Hercules, the Hall of Justice, the fountain of Galatea and the Hall of Marbles strong> or Europe.

This last room has as its main element the representation on the ceiling of “The Rapture of Europe” and stipes with marble busts representing Diana senates and Roman emperors at its doors.

It should be noted that the San Ildefonso Palace suffered a devastating fire in 1918 that destroyed the vast majority of the representative and luxurious decoration of the Palace as well as some of the tapestries and frescoes that were in it. .

In the same palace, in the Casa de Damas, is the Tapestry Museum, which was also devastated by the fire. Today you can see tapestries such as “Prudence”, “Justice”, “The Apocalypse” or “The Creation of Man”.Also, in this room there is a most disturbing curiosity. Do you want to know which one? Come visit us!
