Palace of Zarzuela, Royal palace in El Pardo, Madrid, Spain.
The rectangular stone building incorporates three floors with slate roofs, arcaded galleries, and Italian gardens arranged across three terraces with fountains.
King Philip IV commissioned architect Juan Gómez de Mora to build this baroque hunting lodge in 1627, completing construction by 1635.
The palace gave its name to zarzuela, a Spanish musical theater genre that originated in performances held at the royal residence.
The palace functions as the primary workspace for King Felipe VI, with offices, meeting rooms, and administrative facilities for royal duties.
Two separate buildings compose the complex: the main palace houses Queen Sofia, while the Prince's Pavilion serves as Felipe VI's family residence.
