📍Palacio Real de Madrid: Royal Armory & Throne Room – A Look at Spanish Royal History

👑 Stepping into Spanish Royalty 🇪🇸 Deep inside the Palacio Real de Madrid, two rooms stand out for history lovers: the Royal Armory and the Throne Room. One showcases Spain’s military legacy, the other its royal splendor—and both feel like time travel. 🛡️ The Royal Armory houses one of Europe’s most complete collections of arms and armor, including pieces worn by kings like Charles V and Philip II. Look out for the miniature suits made for royal children—equal parts fascinating and eerie. 👀 The Throne Room, with its crimson velvet walls, golden lions, and elaborate chandeliers, still hosts state ceremonies today. It is one of the few spaces inside the palace that has remained nearly unchanged since the 18th century. 📸 Photography is not allowed inside, so take your time to absorb every detail. The ceiling fresco by Tiepolo is worth a neck ache! 🎟️ Entry is included with the general palace ticket. Go early to enjoy it without the crowds, or take a guided tour to uncover lesser-known royal facts.
