Museo de Carruajes, Royal carriage museum in Campo del Moro gardens, Madrid, Spain

The museum occupies a modern structure composed of interconnected hexagonal modules designed by architect Ramón Andrada in 1960.

The museum displays carriages from the Royal Stables, which King Felipe II established between 1556 and 1564 before their demolition in the 1900s.

The collection contains ceremonial carriages that illustrate Spanish royal transportation methods through four centuries of monarchy.

The museum remains closed to visitors since 1990, with plans to transfer the collection to the new Royal Collections Museum near Madrid Palace.

The exhibits include a black carved wood carriage from the 1600s and the hand-carried chair of Emperor Charles I from the 1500s.
