of this beautiful palace. Did you know its size doubles the one of Buckingham
Palace? Build in an Italian baroque style, it was the former residence of the
Spanish Monarchy from 1766 to 1931. Nowadays, it still is a great example of
the establishment of Madrid as the capital of the kingdom.

the Spanish Crown. Know the audiences, dinner parties and signature of
agreements celebrated through the years. Walk around the Armory Square. Marvel
