Annie Leibovitz, the internationally famous photographer most desired by all, has put herself at the service of the kings to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the proclamation of Felipe VI. In this way, she succeeds Cristina García Rodero and Estela de Castro, both authors of familiar and institutional portraits of the royal family, respectively.

Concrete columns, heated stone floors and large circular cutouts in the ceiling contribute to the modern industrial look of the residence. The property has a 24-hour doorman
