of Charles III's scientific institutions, the Observatorio was
completed after his death in 1790. Beautifully proportioned, it is
Madrid's finest neo-classical building, designed by Juan de Villanueva.
It still contains a working telescope, which can only be seen by prior
request. One room is also open to the public, but only on Fridays at the
time of writing, while the building undergoes renovation.
