The Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid) is the third largest palace in Europe after Versailles and Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. It was built in 1738 and completed in 1764, and is one of the most complete and exquisite palaces in the world. The Palace of Madrid was built on the hillside on the left bank of the Mansales River in the 18th century on the orders of Felipe V. It is a representative cultural relics of the Polemon Dynasty, with its luxury and magnificence. One of the best in European palaces. Sabatini completed the southeast side palace and the big stairs. The palace is square with a large courtyard in the middle. From the prince gate on the east side, you can access the central compound. The Royal Garden and Moore Gardens built by Sabatini are also very fascinating, and the front of the palace is extremely magnificent. The kings who lived here throughout the ages will arrange the palace according to their personal preferences, and the palace will be filled with their unique personal style and era imprints. The palace has 2,800 rooms, but only 50 are open to visitors to countless independent buildings, famous for the Alabatrus hall (Salón de Alabarderos), the pillar, the mirror hall (Salón de los Espejos) and the King Carlos III room (Cuarto del Rey Carlos III). The palace can also be seen in the paintings of masters such as Velázquez, Goya, Rubens. The palace is square in appearance, similar to the Louvre in France; the interior is Italian and magnificent. The palace contains countless gold and silverware and paintings, porcelain, tapestries and other royal supplies. Opposite the palace is Plaza de España, with a monument to Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote, standing in the center, next to the monument, there is a statue of Don Quixote riding a horse and a servant Sancho, and there is a royal armoury next to it, which has some important collections in the world. It features some armor that belonged to the King of Spain and other royals before the 13th century.

    Although you can buy tickets on the spot on the same day without booking tickets, you can see the big long chandeliers queuing up in the big sun. Fortunately, you bought an electronic ticket in advance. It’s right to say that it’s beautiful. The most impressive thing is the giant chandeliers in each room.

    The Palace of Madrid is worth visiting from the outside to the inside. ❤️ Outside: I just met the guard of honor, and I was very nice to ride the horse to the children to interact. The garden outside is also worth visiting. There are many so-called street artists dressed differently on the road: The typical architectural characteristics of the European royal family ➕ Gothic wind ➕ Chinese wind ~ Especially when you see Chinese elements in the two rooms, it is quite happy. It is worth visiting. Voice of the picture: I suddenly understand why Trump's residence is decorated in a magnificent style. ~ I really like it after reading it! But if it is not used well, it may be a bit cheesy if you use it too hard. 😝

    It is a testimony to Spanish history and a fine artwork. As soon as I entered the palace, I was struck by its splendor. The architectural style of the palace blends Spanish tradition and Renaissance elements, and it is solemn and magnificent. The white marble walls and red roofs are interspersed with an elegant and noble atmosphere. Walking through the palace halls and corridors, enjoying beautiful murals and sculptures and gold and silverware. I feel the weight of history, the charm of art and the diversity of culture. I highly recommend everyone to visit here, I believe everyone will be impressed by its beauty and history. Tip: Photographs are not allowed after entering the exhibition hall. Only the history of it can be recorded with eyes.

    Overall, not bad. It can be regarded as a more luxurious palace in Europe. And buying tickets in advance does not have to queue up on the spot, leaving a lot of time. And the normal tour tickets we bought are gone. Trip.com coordinated a project for us to visit the underground kitchen. The amount is not increased, and the praise is given! Very satisfied. Although the weather was not very good when I went, the scenery was still ok.
