Madrid en el siglo de oro. Crisol de destinos y desembarco de genios

The Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando hosts exhibitions and cultural activities in Madrid. This show offers a journey through the capital's heritage across several galleries displaying paintings and period objects linked to the era when the city served as the political centre of a global empire.

The display takes a look at Madrid life after Philip II moved the court to the city, a time marked by the arrival of artists, thinkers and men of science. The works on show illustrate the coexistence of monarchs, writers and artists who shaped the cultural development of those centuries.

The visit is aimed at those who wish to delve deeper into Madrid's urban and artistic history through the analysis of the collection on display. The route allows visitors to see material elements that reflect the weight of that period in the shaping of the city.
