The Zarzuela Palace is the official residence of the monarch of which country?

The Zarzuela Palace is the residence of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain and their family. The palace is on the outskirts of Madrid, near the Royal Palace of El Pardo. The complex also houses the official residence of the current King and his family in a nearby mansion. The palace is owned by the Spanish State and administered by a state agency named the Patrimonio Nacional (National Estate).

Juan Carlos and his wife have lived in the palace since their marriage during 1962. After the death of Francisco Franco during 1975, the King decided not to occupy his Palace of El Pardo, leaving it for foreign state guests, designating the Palacio de la Moncloa as the residence of the President of the Spanish Government, while they remained at the Zarzuela. The Royal Palace in the centre of Madrid, the former principal residence of the Spanish kings, is the official residence of the King, although it is used only for state occasions.

During summer 2002, Felipe VI, then Prince of Asturias, relocated into a new residence, a 3,150 square metres (33,900 sq ft) palace built within the grounds of the Palace of La Zarzuela.
