1Royal Palace of Madrid
The Royal Palace of Madrid, also known as the Palace of Oriente and, during the Second Spanish Republic, as the National Palace, is the official residence of the King of Spain, located in Madrid, the Spanish capital. With an area of 135,000 m² and 4,318 rooms. It was built on the site where another palace stood, called the Royal Alcázar of Madrid, destroyed by a fire that lasted three days in 1734. Construction began on April 6, 1738, when the first stone was laid. Its architect was Giovanni Battista Sacchetti. The Royal Palace of Madrid remains officially the residence of the King of Spain, although currently the King uses it only for gala occasions, lunches, official receptions, award ceremonies, and audiences, as the Royal Family has chosen to live in a more modest palace, the Zarzuela Palace.
