The <em>Alc\u00e1zar<\/em> faced a large square (now <em>Plaza de Oriente<\/em>), which served as a backdrop for courtly ceremonies. The interior spaces were filled with collections of paintings, tapestries and objects of gold. In 1734, a devastating fire burned the entire building, leaving it in ruins. The monarch Philip V then ordered the construction of a new building, the Royal Palace which still can be seen in the center of Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alc\u00e1zar The Alc\u00e1zar was an ancient Arab fortress of the ninth century that was converted into a palace through different remodeling desired by the King of Spain.
