Casa Natal de Velázquez

Fodor's Review:

Spanish painter Diego de Velázquez was born in this casa de vecinos (town house shared by several families) in 1599. The house fell into ruin, but was bought in the 1970s by fashion designers Victorio and Lucchino, who restored it for use as their studio. It is not open to the public.
