The Prado Museum is one of the most important and recognized art museums in the world. Founded in 1819, it houses an exceptional collection that spans from the 12th to the 19th century, featuring masterpieces by great European artists. Among its treasures are iconic paintings by Velázquez, such as Las Meninas; by Goya, such as La Maja Desnuda; and by Bosch, such as The Garden of Earthly Delights. Additionally, it includes fundamental works by Titian, Rubens, Raphael, and Rembrandt. The main building, designed by Juan de Villanueva, is an architectural gem of Spanish Neoclassicism. Over the centuries, the museum has expanded its space with new facilities to host temporary exhibitions and preserve its rich collection. The Prado is not only a temple of art but also a reference point for the study and conservation of European cultural heritage.
