Music, as a common thread, surrounds the visitor, allowing him to travel back in time. Carefully selected, the catalog of classical music that accompanies us during the tour is closely related to the history of the Palace of Liria, and especially with the Dukes of Alba, who encouraged the cultivation of music throughout the centuries.

The varied repertoire has included pieces by composers of the stature of Juan de Urrede, the first master in the service of the 1st Duke of Alba in 1476; Gioachino Rossini, friend of the XIV Duke of Alba; or Haydn, who composed some pieces for the XIII Duchess of Alba, along with other works by artists such as Boccherini, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Offenbach, all of them related to the House of Alba throughout history.
