The Royal Palace sits on the site of the old Alcazar of Madrid, a medieval fortress converted into a sumptuous palace by John II, Charles V and Philip II, who turned it into the official residence of the kings of Spain from 1561 on. The Alcazar, splendidly decorated by Philip II and Philip IV for whose task he employed Velazquez, was destroyed by fire on Christmas Eve 1734. Philip V then decided to build the new Royal Palace, employing the best European architect of his time, Filippo Juvarra. When he died in 1736, it was his disciple Giambattista Sacchetti who was commissioned to carry out an adaptation of his grandiose project. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
