THE ROYAL PALACE

In 1734, King Felipe V wanted to build the palace which was of stone and brick.
The Royal Palace was built between 1738 and 1755, where the king Carlos III lived, in 1764.
For the interior decoration the workers used rich materials: Spanish marble, stucco, mahogany in the doors and windows and finally paintings of main artist in those years.
The decoration of Royal Palace has changed, but some things are preserved.
From Carlos III period is kept "El Salón del trono", "La Cámara del Rey" (or of Gasparini) and "La Sala de 
Porcelana".
The Carlos IV period keeps "El Salón de los espejos" and the Alfonso XII period is "El Comedor de Gala".
The art of Royal Palace is a select gallery of painting: "Poliptico de Isabel I La Católica" (Juan of Flandes), "Salomé con la Cabeza del Bautista" (Caravaggio), "Caballo" (Velazquez) or several Goya's painting.

The Royal Palace's garden are called "Campo del Moro" is from the Felipe II period.
The Oriental's square was called that way because it was in the East side of the Royal Palace.
