Real Fábrica de Tapices
Fascinating craftsmanship in this royal workshop
The Royal Tapestry Workshop is hidden away in a side street not far away from Atocha station.
Founded back in 1721, the workshop still uses the time-honoured processes to repair worn masterpieces or to complete the astronomically priced new orders.
If you are lucky you can see the small band of craftsmen and women at work on the guided tour.
