Summary
A rigorous analysis of the dukes of Medinaceli's palaces in 18th-century Madrid reveals previously overlooked details about their prominence and architectural significance near the Paseo del Prado. The study clarifies the distinction between two notable properties—one on Carrera de San Jerónimo, considered the duke's main residence, and another known as the palace of the marqués de Cogolludo—and corrects historical misconceptions about adjacent structures. By synthesizing scattered archival records, it provides a nuanced understanding of how these palaces shaped the urban landscape during a pivotal period in Madrid's development.
