The Royal Palace of El Pardo, originally a 15th-century hunting lodge, was renovated in the 16th century and modified by the architect Sabatini in the 18th century. It is best known for having been Francisco Franco's residence during the dictatorship.
Currently, the palace is the official residence for foreign heads of state visiting Spain and is open to the public as a museum. Its main attractions include the collection of tapestries based on Goya cartoons and its interior decoration.

Immaculate Conception Parish

Highlight • Religious Site

The Parish of the Immaculate Conception is located in the Virgen del Carmen Church, inaugurated in 1966. Although its history dates back to 1778, the current church stands out for its large iroko wood altarpiece and stained-glass windows from the bedroom of King Alfonso XII. In addition to religious services, the parish is a center for community and pastoral activities.

El Pardo Square

Highlight • Settlement

Beyond the famous anecdote of the continuous theft of the plaque that gave its name to the Plaza "del Caudillo", the Plaza de El Pardo is known because the painter Francisco de Goya Lucientes lived there for many years, in the old house of Postas that was located in this square.
Today, in the place that this building used to occupy, there is a hotel establishment, called 'La Marquesita'.
