Description

During this visit, your guide will show you the Royal Collections Gallery, a museum center dependent on the National Heritage. It is located in a building located in the Campo del Moro gardens, next to the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace of that city. Although originally intended to display tapestries and carriages, it is ultimately intended to also house luxury objects, furniture, sculpture, architectural elements, paintings and other pieces of art or history that the different kings of Spain treasured throughout their history. Among the 650 pieces, including paintings, furniture and models that will be permanently or temporarily exhibited in the Museum, the following stand out: - The Polyptych of Isabel la Católica by Juan de Flandes. - The White Horse by Diego Velázquez. - Salome with the head of John the Baptist by Caravaggio. - Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Anton Raphael Mengs. - The armor and helmet used by Carlos V in the battle of Mühlberg. - The black carriage of Queen Mariana of Austria.
