About The Royal Palace of Madrid

The Royal Palace of Madrid, known as ‘Palacio Real de Madrid’, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the capital city of Spain.

The construction was started in the 18th century during the reign of King Felipe V, but it wasn't fully completed until the reign of Charles III. It was built after the old Alcázar (the previous residence of the Spanish monarchy), was destroyed by fire in 1734.

The palace is a great example of Baroque architecture and is one of the largest palaces in Europe by floor area. It features a symmetrical design and is covered with intricate decorations, statues, and artworks.

The facade is grand and imposing, which reflected the power and wealth of the Spanish monarchy during its construction.

The inside of the Royal Palace is equally impressive, with it’s lavishly decorated rooms, halls, and chambers.

Visitors can explore various sections of the palace which are open to the public,, including:

• The Throne Room
• The Royal Chapel
• The Hall of Mirrors
• The Royal Armory, which houses an extensive collection of weapons and armour.

The Royal Palace is still used for official ceremonies and state events, but it is primarily a tourist attraction and museum today. The Spanish royal family doesn’t reside there anymore, instead preferring the more modest Palacio de la Zarzuela on the outskirts of Madrid.

Located in the heart of Madrid, close to other major attractions such as the Plaza Mayor, the Puerta del Sol, and the Almudena Cathedral, the Royal Palace’s strategic location makes it a focal point for tourists exploring the city.
