Palau de la Virreina

Fodor's Review:

The neoclassical Virreina Palace, built by a viceroy to Peru in 1778, is now a major center for changing exhibitions of paintings, photography, and historical items. The building also houses a bookstore and a municipal tourist office. Beautiful accents on the exterior include the portal doorway and pediments carved with elaborate floral designs.

  • Cost: Free; EUR 3 charge for some exhibits
  • Open: Mon.-Sat. 11-8, Sun. 11-3
  • Metro: Liceu
