The Palacio del Congreso de los Diputados, located in Madrid, is the seat of the Spanish Parliament. Built between 1843 and 1850 under the design of architect Narciso Pascual Colomer, this neoclassical building is of great historical significance, hosting key political events in Spain, including the proclamations of kings and the 1981 coup attempt. Visitors can admire its grand façade, which features majestic bronze lions guarding the entrance and exquisite interior spaces like the Hemicycle, where parliamentary debates take place. The building is open to the public on guided tours, typically from Monday to Friday, with free admission. Accessibility options are available for those with disabilities.
