Throne Room, Royal chamber in Madrid, Spain
The Throne Room features red velvet walls, gilt-framed mirrors, crystal chandeliers, and a pair of thrones positioned beneath an ornate canopy.
King Charles III commissioned architect Giovanni Battista Sacchetti to design this ceremonial space in 1772, incorporating elements of Baroque and Neoclassical styles.
The ceiling frescoes by Tiepolo depict allegories of Spanish provinces, while bronze sculptures representing virtues stand alongside the thrones.
Visitors can explore the Throne Room during regular palace hours from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The room contains the only known surviving dual throne arrangement in Europe, featuring twin seats decorated with gold leaf and royal insignias.
