Aranjuez - Royal Palace Palacio Real

The rooms of the palace are decorated and furnished in a style befitting the rank of its occupants, with valuable tapestries, furniture, porcelain, clocks, pictures and objets d'art. Particularly notable features are the magnificent staircase designed by Giacomo Bonavia, the Chapel Royal (by Sabatini), the velvet-clad Throne Room and above all the Porcelain Room.

Other fine rooms are the Arab Saloon, modelled on the Hall of the Two Sisters in the Alhambra in Granada, and the Saloon of the Infantas or Sala de Papeles Chinos, decorated with delicate paintings on rice paper. The decoration of the palace was the work of the painters Luca Giordano, Anton Mengs, Francisco Bayeu and Mariano Maella. Gardens
