It is located a short walk from the Metro station Opera, where you will find accommodation in Madrid for your stay.
On the site occupied by the current Palace was originally a fortress built as accommodation in Madrid by Mohammed I, Emir of Cordoba in the 9th century when Spain was controlled by the Muslim Moors. In 1085 Madrid was taken by Alfonso VI however it was mostly unoccupied accommodation in Madrid until 1561 when Philip II moved his residency to Madrid. In the 16th century the site continued to grow as accommodation in Madrid, until it was burned down in 1734 on Christmas Eve. The current Palace was built as accommodation in Madrid on the orders of Philip V, finished in 1755. To prevent this palace from burning down it was built almost entirely of granite and brick, wood being used only for door and window frames.
The interior of the Palace varies in styles along with the fashions over the long period it has existed, with materials of mahogany, marble, and gilded stucco, creating opulent accommodation in Madrid. The designers of this accommodation in Madrid included the most famous artists of the times including the Venetian Tiepolo, Giaquinto, Maella and Bayeu.
