Casa de América is a cultural centre devoted to connections with the Americas, housed in Linares Palace on Plaza de Cibeles. To see the historic reception rooms, choose the guided palace tour, which is separate from cultural events. Announced general admission is €10 (prices checked in October 2026). Regular tours are in Spanish; ask about availability and purchase through the official information desk. Dates may change with the centre's programme.
Highlights
Interior decoration
Marble, woodwork, fabrics and paintings are central to the guided route. Notice how the rooms were arranged for entertaining rather than simply focusing on the richness of each material.
The palace on Cibeles
Look at the façades of this late nineteenth-century residence. The building forms part of the square's setting; viewing it outside does not require a ticket for the reception rooms.
The Linares family
Guides introduce the former owners and the context of their residence. Stories and legends are part of the interpretation, but should be distinguished from established historical facts.
Cultural events
Talks, exhibitions and screenings offer another way to discover Casa de América. Each activity has its own admission conditions: a palace ticket does not cover every event.
Practical info
Tips
- The current Spanish-language official page announces a reduced price of €7 (prices checked in October 2026), subject to eligibility; ask which proof is required. The palace ticket service specifies card payment and remaining tickets sold before weekend departures. An older English page lists different prices, so confirm before buying. For accessible arrangements, contact the centre and specify your activity. Combine with Cibeles Palace, the Puerta de Alcalá or Fundación Mapfre. Check photography rules at reception and respect the prohibition on recording during the tour.
