Palace of the Infanta Carlota, Royal palace in central Madrid, Spain.

The Palace of the Infanta Carlota stands on Calle de la Luna, featuring classical architectural elements and a notable vaulted entrance hall.

The palace, constructed in the late 18th century by Juan de Villanueva, later housed Princess Luisa Carlota of the Two Sicilies after her return to Spain in 1842.

The palace exhibits technical innovations in its vault construction, which matched the engineering excellence found in El Escorial's architectural elements.

The building occupies 961 square meters of land in Madrid's center and underwent significant modifications by architect Antonio Herrera de la Calle around 1850.

Bronze lions and Pompeian-style paintings decorated the interior spaces until 2004, reflecting the refined tastes of Spanish nobility during its occupation.

Location: Madrid
