Presentation of the book "Los palacios de la Castellana".

The event was held in the Rafael del Pino Auditorium on 16 December 2010.

The author of the book, Ignacio González-Varas, Antonio Bonet Correa and Carlos Falcó, Marquis of Griñón, took part in the presentation of the work.

Through nearly 200 period photographs, documents and testimonies of the families who owned them, Los palacios d ela Castellana documents more than a hundred years of Madrid's history, from a triple urban-architectural, historical-economic and social perspective, based on an exhaustive architectural analysis complemented by a strong historical component and an X-ray of the society of the time, thus providing a different perspective to anything published to date.

The book, published by Turner, has been sponsored by the Rafael del Pino Foundation, Bankinter and Omega Capital.
