Exteriors

The Royal Palace of Madrid is imposing at first glance. Spanning a massive area of 1,35,000 sq. m. and housing about 3,418 rooms, it is considered to be the largest functioning palace in Europe -- almost double the size of Buckingham Palace! The entrance is simply stunning; watch out for the 44 limestone statues of Spanish Royals. The six-storied structure features a rustic stone base, from which rise several tall ionic columns that frame the towering windows. Restoration projects over the years saw the additions of Doric columns, statues of saints, Sabatini’s clock and royals and more. Across the Madrid Palace lie two main squares, the Plaza de la Armería, Plaza de Oriente, along with the immaculate Campo del Moro Gardens and the Sabatini Gardens.

Keep an eye out for the spectacular fresco above the staircase! The Royal Library is full of hidden secrets, and the royal apartments lend a keen insight into the luxurious furnishings and lifestyles of the Spanish Royalty. The Royal Armory is thought to be one of the world’s best, with artifacts dating back to the 13th Century. The Stradivarius Hall has on display two classic violins, a viola and a cello.
