Old palace in Madrid
Many knew about the strange events taking place at night in the Lineres Palace. The announcement that ghosts dwell there was news only for visitors, but not for local residents of the area. The history of the stone walls stretches back to the beginning of the 19th century. During the War of Independence, the French built a large prison on the site of a felled olive grove. Since 1808, many prisoners passed through it, many of whom did not manage to survive. A burial place was located near the prison. Regardless of the history of the place, it was chosen by the head of the Murga family as a square for the construction of the family palace.
It is worth noting that the beliefs of different countries, and at different times, agree on one detail. If during the construction, any bricklayer fell off the wall and died, he was walled up in the castle wall. This ensured the durability of the building. Such a tradition developed from an earlier one, even if at the end of the construction everyone was alive, a sacrifice was required to strengthen the walls, it was chosen by lot from among the workers. Whether something similar happened during the construction of the Linares Palace, there is no such information. However, many remember from their forefathers that a family drama took place in the family of the Marquis of Linares, after which some of the family members were killed and the bodies were hidden within the walls of the palace. The Marquis committed suicide, his grave is located on the territory adjacent to the courtyard.
