Royal Palaces of Spain: A Historical Descriptive Account of the Seven Principal Palaces of the Spanish Kings, With 164 Illus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Royal Palaces of Spain: A Historical Descriptive Account of the Seven Principal Palaces of the Spanish Kings, With 164 IllusSince despotism has been replaced by constitutional rule the divinity that doth hedge a King has shed something of its significance, but the staunchest republican will admit that there is at least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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
