Moncloa Palace was built in the 18th century and had to be completely restored as a result of all the damage caused during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Today, it is the official residence of the Spanish President and is located on the outskirts of the city, on the road to La Coruña. Caja Madrid Foundation has published an interesting book called El Real Sitio de la Florida y la Moncloa all about this palace. It's well worth reading and you can get a copy by calling +34 91 379 1073 and asking to speak with the program director. Moncloa Palace is not open to the public.
