The Ducal House of Medinaceli Foundation is a private cultural institution established on the initiative of Her Grace Victoria Eugenia Fernández de Córdoba y Fernández de Henestrosa, the Duchess of Medinaceli, with the aim of conserving, restoring, reintegrating, studying, promoting and disseminating the historic assets, both tangible (immovable, movable and documentary) and intangible (traditions, cults, rituals.), that have come to be linked to the House over time. Initially endowed with the founder’ s historic heritage-which was donated at the time of its establishment-throughout its over twenty-five years of existence it has grown both through the acquisition of property with historical ties to the House of Medinaceli and through mergers with other foundations of which the Ducal House held the trusteeship. The Foundation currently manages historic and artistic property scattered across nearly all the Spanish regions.
