The Royal Palace of Madrid, located in the capital of Spain, is one of the most important and impressive sights in the city.

It was commissioned by King Felipe V and designed by architects Filippo Juvarra and Juan Bautista Sachetti. Construction of the palace took several decades and was completed in the reign of Charles III. The architecture of the Royal Palace is a mixture of styles, including Baroque and Neoclassical.
