About Palacio Real de Madrid
(The Royal Palace of Madrid)

The palace is located on the site of a 9th-century Moorish Alcázar. After Madrid fell to King Alfonso VI of Castile in 1083, the edifice was only rarely used by the kings of Castile until King Felipe II moved his court to Madrid in 1561.

After it burned 24 December 1734, King Felipe V ordered a new palace built on the same site. Construction spanned the years 1738 to 1755 and King Carlos III first occupied the new palace in 1764. The last monarch who lived continuously in the palace was King Alfonso XIII, although Manuel Azaña, president of the Second Republic, also inhabited it, making him the last head of state to do so.
