Heritage Craftsmanship at Real Fabrica de Tapices

Real Fabrica de Tapices has been an essential part of Madrid's cultural heritage since 1720, when it was established by royal decree to produce luxury tapestries. This factory has served high-profile clients, including the Spanish royal family and the Vatican.

Unique for its blend of historical architecture and ongoing craftsmanship, the factory continues to operate as a tapestry workshop. Visitors can explore showrooms filled with fine tapestries, view a permanent exhibition, and, on occasion, observe artisans at work. The historical significance of Goya, who began his career here, adds cultural depth to the experience.
