The '''Summer Palace''' is the current colloquial name for the '''Réoran Palace''', the former city residence of the House of Carrateó, and the current summer residence for the Monarch of [[
The Palace was built in the 1540s as a new royal residence of the rulers of Réal, the House of Carrateó. Commissioned by Queen Margarita Benevolencia to provide a living space in the largest city in their realm, the Palace was completed in 1546. The core of the current building, the large rotunda and connected keep, townhomes, and gallery, were built to house the royal court, stables, and offices. Over the next century the structure was expanded by King Marius Sancho, and after the Conquista, Kings Felipe II and III. Due to the high altitude and surrounding climate, the Palace was chosen as the summer residence for the new House of Naranza-Carrateó, providing more comfortable living than the Naranza Palace in Porta Tranquila. It also gave Queen Alicia II the familiarity of living in the same Palace she grew up in.
