The Royal Palace at Madrid - the Armeria, 1845. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Palace at Madrid - the Armeria, 1845. View of...the enormous Royal Palace, or, rather, a portion of it, as seen through the noble archway of the Armeria; at the same time, affording a glance at the street architecture of Madrid. La Armeria real is one of the finest armouries in the world: the noble gallery, which fronts the south side of the Palace...was built in 1565, by Gaspar de La Vega, for Philip II. when he removed the Royal armoury from Valladolid. This, as it really contains weapons of all kinds, is a double curiosity, being the best provided arsenal in the land...The collection of swords is, however the most interesting; for this weapon, Spain has always been celebrated. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1845, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of The Royal Palace at Madrid. Through the noble archway of the Armeria, we are presented with a partial view of this enormous palace, allowing us to appreciate its architectural magnificence. As our eyes wander beyond the palace walls, we catch a glimpse of Madrid's street architecture, adding another layer of charm to this scene frozen in time. The Armeria itself is an awe-inspiring sight. Built in 1565 by Gaspar de La Vega for Philip II when he relocated the Royal armoury from Valladolid, it stands as one of the world's finest armouries. This double curiosity not only houses weapons of all kinds but also serves as Spain's best-provided arsenal. Amongst its remarkable collection, swords take center stage and hold particular interest. Spain has always been renowned for its mastery in crafting these iconic weapons. This print allows us to imagine ourselves stepping into history and exploring this treasure trove firsthand. Originally featured in "Illustrated London News" in 1845, this engraving transports us back to a bygone era where sentries guarded royal palaces and newspapers were cherished sources of information. Preserved through time by The Print Collector, this image invites us to marvel at both Spanish heritage and Victorian craftsmanship.
