Madrid of the Habsburg

Madrid

Madrid became the capital of Spain in the 16th century. This happened while the Spanish Empire was reaching its largest dimension. This was a kingdom where German, Spanish and Portuguese territories were part of one single empire. At the same time, Spanish culture reached its utmost splendor, an era called “El Siglo de Oro” (The Golden Century), that in fact spread along not just one century but two, the 16th and 17 th centuries.
