The Royal Palace
Fun facts: Thee palace is located on the site of the Royal Alcazar which was built by the Moors when they controlled Spain. When a new king from France came in to power he thought the Alcazar was ugly and wanted to build a Western style palace. When the people of Madrid protested having this landmark destroyed the king threw a huge party outside the city for Christmas Eve and invited everyone for free food and drinks. When they returned they found that the Alcazar had been burned to the ground. It's unconfirmed but I think the king did it...obviously.
