The Royal Palace of Madrid is one of the must see places in Madrid. We visited the palace on a very cold and rainy morning. We took the subway and then a leisurely 10 minutes walk, we are at the palace gate.
Security was very tight though but it was worth it. The audio guide was full of interesting information but it was very unfortunate that no photography was allowed.

There are beautiful rooms decorated in different styles. One could compare this place with the Schonbunn Palace in Vienna. There are also collections of very nice paintings, ceramics and also very valuable Stradivarius violins.The royal pharmacy was also very interesting. The royal chapel was also very beautiful.
If one would like more details and photos of the interior of the palace, Wikipedia does provide quite detailed explanation. Lots of photos are also available from the internet.
We also visited theAlmudena cathedral was built next to the Spanish Royal Palace and was
completed in time for the wedding of the Spanish Princess in 1993. It took nearly 100 years to finish the church.
Until the next time, cheers.
