Private visit royal palace
Your local friend takes you into this marvel of history for an exclusive experience in Madrid on a private visit to the Royal Palace of Madrid, to explain its artistic and historical details. The biggest royal palace in western Europe, situated in the same spot as the former Real Alcazar de Madrid. king Felipe V was obsessed with having exquisite palaces that resemble those he had long enjoyed in France as a monarch coming from the French House of Bourbon, hence, after a supposed accidental fire burns down the Alcazar de Madrid or castle, Felipe V orders the construction of the Royal Palace, in the remarkable and regal form it shows today. Said king was the first to reign from the House of Bourbon, whereas, his namesake, H.M. King Felipe VI of Bourbon and Greece, is current monarch of Spain, for being son to H.M. Queen Sofía of Greece and H.M. King Juan Carlos I of Bourbon and Bourbon-Dos Sicilias. Later changes in the decore were added by Carlos III and Isabel II. Made out of the same gray granite used in the construction of the Royal Minastery of El Escorial, over 200 years prior to Madrid's main palace, during reign of Felipe II. Madrid's palace bestows priceless treasure in art paintings, sculptures, a massive collection of ornate French clocks, functioning until our present day.
