The Royal Tapestry Factory
Discover The Royal Tapestry Factory, founded in 1721 and housed in a neo-Mudéjar building, where the craft of tapestry and carpet making is still practised today. Students explore an important textile collection featuring both the factory’s own productions and works held in storage, including designs by renowned artists such as Goya and Teniers. The visit also includes the historic garden, home to plants used for natural dyeing and the production of textile fibres such as cotton and flax, providing a vivid insight into art, craftsmanship, and cultural history.
