This is the official residence of the Spanish monarchs, a palace that reveals the history of Spain. Currently is not inhabited by the monarchs, once its main function is to receive ceremonies and official acts of great importance. The visit to the Royal Palace of Madrid usually includes the entry in official halls that will impress you with all its decorative splendor. You will also find armor, shields, and weapons from various eras, that turned out to be one of the most important royal arsenal collections in the world. You can also visit a space that reconstructs a laboratory with numerous vials that formed the royal pharmacy. We emphasize in particular the main staircase and the royal chapel featuring important pieces of Antoni Stradivari.
