Philip II of Spain, who reigned from 1556 to 1598, focused on centralizing power and strengthening the monarchy during his reign. He implemented a bureaucratic system to enhance royal authority, increased revenue through taxation, and promoted the Catholic Church to consolidate religious unity. His domestic policies also included a strong emphasis on the arts and architecture, leading to a cultural flourishing in Spain. However, his reign faced challenges such as economic difficulties and revolts, notably in the Netherlands.
