Palace of Linares (Palacio de Linares)

The Palace of Linares (Palacio de Linares), located at the Plaza de Cibeles in central Madrid, is a recognized historic building that was declared a national historic-artistic monument in 1976. It currently serves as the seat of Casa de América and functions as a cultural venue; contemporary concert program archives list performances held at the palace, confirming its active use for events. In popular-media treatments of haunted places, the palace is sometimes included among allegedly haunted palaces and castles. The supplied Paranormal Scholar video lists Palacio de Linares as one of several 'eeriest & most haunted' locations; however, the excerpted material from that source and the other supplied sources do not include first‑hand witness testimony, named spirits, detailed descriptions of apparitions, recorded physical effects, investigative reports, or historical incidents tied to paranormal claims. No explanatory frameworks (residual, intelligent, or other) are provided in the supplied material. Given the building's formal heritage status and contemporary cultural role, references to haunting in the provided material should be understood as part of modern popular-media listings rather than substantiated, documented phenomena in the supplied sources.
