Inaugurée en juin 2023 après près de deux décennies de travaux, la Galería de las Colecciones Reales dévoile une partie de la collection royale du Patrimonio Nacional, riche de 155 000 pièces s'étendant du XIIe au XIXe siècle. Intégré à flanc de colline sous le Royal Palace, sur la Cuesta de la Vega, ce bâtiment revêtu de granit réunit des toiles de Velázquez, Caravaggio et Titian, ainsi que des armures royales, des tapisseries et des carrosses d'apparat. Il s'élève aux côtés du Royal Palace et de l'Almudena Cathedral sur la Plaza de la Armería ; un billet combiné incluant le Palais et la Galerie est proposé à 24 € (12 € en tarif réduit).
