Hello everyone. Not long ago, I was walking through the ostentatious rooms of the Spanish Royal Palace. The King of Spain no longer lives in this Palace. The place is in excellent condition, everything has been maintained like new. A little over the top with gold leave and grandeur, but I thought I should at least pass on a few images of some of the many clocks in the palace.

What would you call this style, Rococo?

This is the last one I photographed. But they had many more clocks in the Palace. I don't know if they keep them running or not. Dusting alone must be a full time job for several people. A couple of clockmakers would also be necessary if these treasures are kept in working condition.
