        The Palacio Real is the successor to the Moorish Alcazar that burned down in 1734 and was built on behalf of King Felipe V. However, it was King Carlos III who was the first to move into the palace 23 years later. Of the 2,800 halls and rooms in the palace, about 50 can be visited. Every first Wednesday of the month at 12:00 noon there is a changing of the guard.
