Fantastic gallery and definitely worth a visit. The Spanish Royal Collections Gallery is the most important museum project of recent decades in Spain. It’s a chronological journey through the artistic legacy of the Habsburgs and Bourbons with exceptional pieces, from tapestries and historic carriages to masterpieces…
