Another Great Site In Spain
February 5th, 2008
The Palacio Real, also known as the Royal Palace of Madrid, is the official residence of the King of Spain. The King and his royal family do not reside there, but the Palace is still used for state occasions. It is one of Madrid’s largest tourist sites with almost 3,000 rooms, 240 balconies and over staircases and is owned by the Spanish state. The Palacio is not just another great site in Spain, but a masterpiece of tourism.
Except when it’s in use, the palace is partially open to the public. The 10% of the palace that’s open for viewing is full of items to make the Royal Palace the number one tourist site such as bejeweled clocks, exquisite rococo decorations and beautiful tapestries and numerous other precious items. The palace has been in construction for around twenty-five years, yet still holds much of the armory of some of the 18th century heroes.
