Prado Museum

Spain's premier art museum houses masterworks spanning five centuries, from Goya's haunting Black Paintings to Velázquez's iconic Las Meninas. The neoclassical building itself, standing majestically on the Paseo del Prado, is as much a pilgrimage site for art lovers as the treasures within its walls. You'll find yourself lost in galleries of Spanish, Flemish, and European paintings that shaped the course of art history.
