Museo de las Cortes de °äá»å¾±³ú

°äá»å¾±³ú


A fairly dry collection of portraits and maps focusing especially on the revolutionary °äá»å¾±³ú Parliament of 1812, which took place in the baroque Oratorio de San Felipe Neri next door, and the Napoleonic siege which the city was suffering at that time. The highlight is the 1770s model of 18th-century °äá»å¾±³ú, made in mahogany, silver and ivory by Alfonso Ximénez.
