The Museo del Prado is not only one of the world's most famous museums but also a true jewel of the Spanish capital. With your audio guide, you'll dive into a collection that is second to none, telling the story of European art from the 12th to the 19th century. What makes the Museo del Prado so special? It houses the world's largest collection of Spanish paintings and is considered one of the most important art museums anywhere.

The collection originated from royal collections and today comprises over 35,000 artworks. The museum is particularly famous for its incomparable works by Diego Velázquez, whose masterpiece "Las Meninas" is considered one of the most enigmatic paintings in art history. Francisco de Goya, the great Spanish painter of Romanticism, is represented with over 130 works, including his famous "Black Paintings" and the devastating painting "The Third of May 1808". El Greco, the mysterious painter with his distinctive style, also has his permanent place here.

But the Prado is far more than a museum for Spanish art.
