The word “Prado” (meaning meadow) comes from the area of Madrid which was ear marked as the site for a major urban renewal programme by Charles III. In 1785 the Spanish king commissioned architect Juan de Villanueva to construct a complex originally designed as a celebration of natural history and science. In 1819 the building was declared a “Museum of Painting and Sculpture” by Charles' grandson Ferdinand VII who contributed his collection of invaluable works amassed by various royals through the centuries.
