Palace of Linares, Madrid, Spain |
Occupying a corner in Madrid, this palace was built in the late 19th century in the neo-Baroque design for Marquis of Linares José de Murga. Having been instructed by his family to marry for love, rather than money or class, the Marquis married a commoner, and not until she was already pregnant with their child did he discover that she was in fact his sister,
the result of an adulterous relationship between his father and his wife’s mother. They are said to have murdered the infant child to hide the incestuous shame of their union; it is her crying ghost that haunts the palace to this day.
