The treasures of the royal palace are the room of King Charles III, which includes the apartments of the Illustrated King and one of the most important for the city of Madrid, preserves all the decoration directed by Sabatini, uniform throughout the main floor. The Throne Room and the Chamber called Gasparini constitute the most representative sets of Charles III's taste, attached to the Rococo style in its most exuberant Italian version. Important neoclassical ensembles and pieces of French furniture are owed to Charles IV and to Ferdinand VII, the overwhelming collection of French chandeliers in bronze and crystal. The last decorative renovation to which the current historical state of the decoration responds is due to Alfonso XII in 1879. The apartments of Charles IV and María Luisa extend along the eastern façade, where the successive sovereigns lived until 1931.
