Don't forget to turn around for a frame-worthy shot of the palace with Almudena Cathedral. 👉 Hall of the Halberdiers The statue of Carlos III, the first monarch to reside in the palace, stands majestically. The scroll in this "Reformer King's" hand holds secrets—it details his urban renewal plans for Madrid. 👉 Grand Staircase The 56 marble steps feature the Spanish royal coat of arms at the center. Look up to capture the dome fresco "The Glory of Spain" and the staircase's dramatic perspective—a Baroque masterpiece! 👉 Throne Room The dome fresco hides a clever detail: the colors of the Spanish flag subtly appear on ancient Roman legion banners. 👉 Gasparini Room Rococo style at its finest!
