The Prado's basement houses the Tesoro del Dauphin (Treasure of the Dauphin), a display of part of the collection of jewels that belonged to the Grand Dauphin Louis, son of Louis XIV and father of Felipe V, Spain's first Bourbon king. The collection includes goblets, cups, trays, glasses and other pieces richly decorated with rubies, emeralds, diamonds, lapis lazuli and other precious stones. Just east of the Prado is the Cason del Buen Retiro (currently undergoing restoration) which used to be a dance hall for the palace of Felipe IV, but is now devoted to nineteenth-century Spanish art. It is included in the entrance ticket to the main museum but, considering the riches which have gone before, is not of compelling interest.
