The Spanish Crown

The Spanish Crown refers to the monarchy of Spain, historically symbolized by the reigning king or queen and the authority they hold. It represents the monarchy's sovereignty, tradition, and political power within Spain and its former empire. Throughout history, the Crown has played a central role in governance, diplomacy, and national identity, evolving from absolute power to a constitutional role within a parliamentary system. Today, the Spanish Crown is largely symbolic, with the monarch serving as a unifying figure and representative of Spanish heritage, while real political power resides with elected institutions.
