- Spanish Royal Crown
-
The Spanish royal crown, known as crown of Alfonso of Spain, is the symbol of the Spanish monarchy and has been used in proclamation ceremonies since the 18th century. The last Spanish king being solemnly crowned was John I of Castile (August 24, 1358 – October 9, 1390). After him, all Castilian and Spanish kings have taken the royal rank by proclamation and acclamation before the Church and since the 18th century, before the Cortes Generales, although the royal crown has been present in these ceremonies. The current King, Juan Carlos I was proclaimed King of Spain on November 22, 1975 having the following symbols displayed in front of him:
The Commemorative Crown of the funeral of Elisabeth Farnese, Queen consort of Philip V. The crown, made of gold-plated silver and no gems, displays the seals of the founding kingdoms of Castile and León, with a turret and lion respectively. It was made by order of king Charles III in Madrid.
A scepter, present of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, to king Philip II; made in Vienna in the 16th century.
A silver crucifix, from the collection of the Congress of Deputies.
The last time the crown was seen in public was in the state funeral at the arrival of the remains and the burial of King Alfonso XIII in 1981 in the El Escorial Royal Site 45 kilometres (28 mi) northwest of Madrid.
