The Royal Alcazar of Madrid was a royal palace on the present site of the Royal Palace in the city of Madrid. It originated as a Muslim fortress in the 9th century and was expanded and improved into a royal palace over the centuries, though it continued to hold its original name of alcázar or fortress. The first major expansion was undertaken in 1537 by order of Charles I of Spain, but its final appearance was down to 1636 works by the architect Juan Gómez de Mora for Philip IV of Spain.
