The hidden secrets of Spanish Congress of Deputies | Video

Madrid, Aug 10 (EFE), (Camera: Leo Redondo).- Since the Spanish Palace of the Congress of Deputies was inaugurated in 1850 by Queen Isabel II until today, the parliamentary complex has grown to house seven buildings that occupy an area of almost 89,000 square meters that hide dozens of secrets and curiosities.

Some of the mysteries are the so-called elevator of Queen María Cristina, one of the first to be installed in Madrid, and the hidden door in Isabel II's main hall, which communicated with some tunnels that could have served to escape to Puerta del Sol or the Ateneo in Madrid.
