– Madrid’s royal palace: It is the official residence of His Majesty the King of Spain, who uses it in state ceremonies, although he does not live in it. The origin of the palace dates back to the 9th century in which the Muslim kingdom of Toledo built a defensive building that was later used by the kings of Castilla, on which in the 16th century the old fortress was built.
– Royal site of san Lorenzo de el escorial: the slag heap, a world heritage monument, was the political center of the empire of Philip ii, where he organized his palace and library as well as his pantheon, that of his parents, Carlos ie Isabel of Portugal, and that of his relatives and successors, where built a great basilica and founded a monastery
– Real site of el pardo: it is the zarzuela palace, residence of their majesties the kings of Spain and is located in the mount of el pardo, which extends north of Madrid with almost 16,000 hectares of forest
– Fifth of the brown: the national heritage offers the possibility of transferring the use of the land of the quinta del duque del arco and its palace, located in the monte de el pardo, for holding meetings or events organized by public institutions. The palace of the fifth had its origin in a farmhouse that the duke of the arch bought in 1717. He built a house whose traces were reminiscent of the zarzuela palace, by the architect Gómez de mora
– Royal site of aranjuez: It was the royal residence at the time of the Catholic kings. In the rooms on the ground floor is the “museum of palace life” with curious pieces about daily life in the royal residences

Felipe v retired to this place in 1724 and for the next twenty years he enlarged the gardens and the palace. Recently, restoration and reordering works of the collections have been undertaken in the official salons that allow us to return to the time of Felipe v
– Royal Palace of Riofrío: after the death of Felipe v, queen Isabel de farnesio resided on the farm during the reign of Fernando vi (1746-1759). In these years it acquired the so-called riofrío preserve, and began the construction of a new royal site. Francisco de Asís, husband of Isabel II, Alfonso XII, spent long periods in cold weather after the death of Queen María de las Mercedes; of these reigns dates the decoration of the royal rooms that occupy half of the main floor

Its current state is the result of the extensions and reforms carried out throughout the centuries, and especially during the reign of the Catholic kings, Carlos v, Felipe ii, Felipe v, Isabel ii … it is worth adding that these last two monarchs resided for long periods in Seville
