The queue for this place was long!

...and if you went round the building, you'd see that it actually got longer!

Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here)

Located in an 18th building designed by Juan de Villanueva, the Prado is considered one of the most important art galleries in the world. It houses masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Zurbarán, Ribera, Titian, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angélico, Rubens, Bosch, Van der Weyden, Poussin, Lorrain, Watteau, Rembrandt, Dürer and Mengs, among others.

Free to the world on Sundays, hence the queue which went all the way around the building! I was flying out later that day so didnt even attempt a visit!
