Link profile: Palacio Real

Category: Start / Great Cities of Spain / Madrid / Museums
The Royal Palace was built in the middle of the eighteenth century on the site of the old Alcázar, Arab fortress. It is now a purely state affair, as the modern royal family resides in the non-visitable Palacio de la Zarzuela in the outskirts of Madrid. The Palacio Real is enormous, and well worth the visit, though there tends to be a generally musty feeling in the air: the Throne Room is especially impressive. Its outhouses are also open to the public when they are not being restored, and contain the Royal Armoury, the Royal Library and a curious, eighteenth-century Pharmacy (royal, of course).
