About the Royal Palace of Madrid
Madrid's Royal Palace is the Spanish royal family's official residence, and its main use is state ceremonies. It has 3,418 rooms and more than 135,000 m² of floor space (1,450,000 sq ft). It ranks as Western Europe's largest palace and the biggest royal palace in Europe, and it is among the world's largest palaces. The palace sits on Bailén Street, in western central Madrid and east of the Manzanares River.
The palace replaced the Alcázar of Madrid, which stood on the site of an older fortress from the Muslim era, dating back to the 9th century, and burned down on December 24, 1734. The Bourbon dynasty then had a new, larger palace built from the ground up on the same spot. Work lasted from 1738 to 1755. The Italian architect Filippo Juvarra oversaw the project, and his disciple Giambattista Sacchetti continued it. Charles III called on Francesco Sabatini in 1760 to enlarge the building and first occupied the palace in 1764.
Late Baroque classicism characterizes the exterior. On the main façade, which looks onto the Plaza de la Armería, giant-order columns and pilasters rise from a rusticated base, and gray granite contrasts with white limestone. Gardens and plazas surround the palace, among them the Sabatini Gardens on its north side, the Campo del Moro gardens to its west, and the Plaza de Oriente. Its collections include the only complete Stradivarius string quintet in the world.

- Columns and windows on the facade
- Long facades carry shallow columns, pilasters and rows of windows. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep this fine detail crisp, and a larger print size keeps more of it.
- A dome and a courtyard
- A small dome and a balustrade sit on the roofline around a large open courtyard. Print friendly adapts these details to the print scale, while Full detail keeps all of them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The Royal Palace of Madrid is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Royal Palace of Madrid takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
