The palace of many names

The Palacio de Zurbano, originally Zurbano's Garden, is located at Calle de Zurbano, 5-7, in Almagro, Madrid. It was built between 1878 and 1881 by Severiano Sainz de la Lastra for Fermín de Muguiro y Azcárate, I Conde de Muguiro. However, the palace is perhaps best known by its current name, the Palacio de Zurbano.

The estate was bought by Parent y Schaken, a French company specializing in iron bridges. In 1919, it was sold to Gonzalo de Mora y Fernández del Olmo, who in turn passed it to the Marqués de Casa Riera. During its history, it has been used by some of Spain's most notable figures, including Fabiola de Mora y Aragón, who was born there in 1928 and became the future Queen of Belgium.

During the Spanish Civil War, it served as headquarters for Dolores Ibárruri, La Pasionaria. The palace belonged to its family until it was sold to the state in 1986, after which it underwent a major restoration between 1995 and 1996. Today, it houses the Centro de Estudios Históricos de Obras Públicas y Urbanismo.
