| The Royal Palace of Madrid or Palacio Real de Madrid is the largest royal palace in Europe by floor space. Itââ¬â¢s the official residence of the Spanish royal family in Madrid, but itââ¬â¢s only used for state ceremonies. The palace was built on the site of a 9th century Muslim-era fortress built by Emir Muhammad I of Córdoba and the old Alcázar that was built in the 16th century. Construction of the current building took place from 1738 to 1755, and it was expanded several times. The huge open space in front of the palace is called Armory Square or Plaza de la ArmerÃÂa, decorated with gilged lanterns and dating back to 1553, when Felipe II ordered the royal stables to be built there, but the current look is from 1892. |
