Present Arms!
from The Making of Madrid Hosted by Felicity Hughes ⏐ Lonely Planet writer and tour guide
The Royal Armoury at the Palacio Real recently reopened to the public. To celebrate, I put together this episode featuring some of the highlights of the collection. From the cute armour worn by Carlos I's dog to the full suit made for Felipe II's marriage to Mary Tudor, I cover stories connected to the powerful Habsburg family before finishing up with a look at the newest items on display: beautiful yet lethal arquebuses produced in Madrid during Bourbon rule.
