The Royal Palace of Madrid is located in the center of Madrid, the capital of Spain, next to the Plaza de Oriente and the Almudena Cathedral. Designed by the Italian architect Filippo Juara, this baroque palace was built in 1738 and took 26 years to complete, making it one of the most complete palaces in Europe. As the official residence of the Spanish royal family (although the king now lives elsewhere), the palace retains its Bourbon opulence: marble colonnades, gilt domes and crystal chandeliers, Goya frescoes in the Throne Room, Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain in the Porcelain Room, and a collection of ancient weapons and armor in the Armory. The museum also contains paintings by masters such as Titian and Mouliot, as well as royal treasures from the 15th century onwards. Now open as a museum, it receives more than a million visitors a year and showcases the glorious history and art collections of the Spanish royal family.
