The Royal Palace was once the official residence of the kings, although today it is mainly a place of tourist interest that also hosts state events, such as diplomatic meetings and official events. This wonderful building is located in the heart of Madrid, just a walk from the Plaza Mayor. The origins of the palace date back to the 9th century, when the Muslim kingdom of Toledo, concerned about its defense against Christian attacks, built a fortress that would later be used by the kings of Castile. In the 16th century the fortress was built on the same foundations. A fire on Christmas Eve 1734 burned it to ashes. It would not be long until Felipe V ordered the construction of a new palace on the same site. The building, whose works were carried out between 1738 and 1755, was designed with a vaulted structure, with stone and brick, ruling out the use of wood and flammable materials. Carlos III was the first monarch to establish his residence there in 1764.

The Royal Palace of Madrid currently fulfills the functions of a museum and is usually used for state ceremonies and solemn acts
