The Palacio Real de Madrid is Europe's largest palace by floor area and the official residence of the Spanish monarch, though it's primarily used for state ceremonies today. Completed in 1764, its neoclassical design replaced the medieval Alcázar that burned in 1734, featuring over 2,000 rooms and a masterpiece of 18th-century European architectural ambition.
