Royal Palace of Madrid, Madrid
The Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid) is considered to be the residence of the Kings of Spain, but they come here extremely rare - only during official receptions. So the palace invites you to look at the lifestyle of kings with a guided tour.

The main entrance to the Royal Palace of Madrid is located on the southern facade, overlooking the Armory Square (Plaza de la Armería). Every first Wednesday of the month, the solemn changing of the guard is held here. Also the carriage with a king and a queen enters here, when they have a planned reception at the palace.

Inside the Royal Palace of Madrid there are about 50 rooms opened for tourists. Here you can see the frescoes made by Velazquez, El Greco, Rubens and Caravaggio. Particularly interesting is the weapons room, which houses a large collection of weapons and armor of the Kings of Spain.
