Excerpt from Royal Palaces of Spain: A Historical Descriptive Account of the Seven Principal Palaces of the Spanish Kings, With 164 Illus

Since despotism has been replaced by constitutional rule the divinity that doth hedge a King has shed something of its significance, but the staunchest republican will admit that there is at least a certain picturesqueness about royalty; and the interest attaching to a crowned head naturally extends to the ancestral homes of majesty. Spain is unusually rich in 'cloud-capped towers and gorgeous palaces,' many of which have been the scenes of stirring and momentous events in her history.
