What was the old capital of Spain?

Answer 1

Toledo was once the Capital of Spain. Spain has only existed as one political entity since the unification of the kingdoms of Castile, Leon, and Aragon in 1516 under the reign of Carlos II of Spain. He was the first monarch to rule all three kingdoms. He was also known as Carlos V (Charles V) Holy Roman Emperor.

Answer 2

Felipe II, son of Carlos V the Holy Roman Emperor, moved the Court to Madrid in 1561. It has been the Capital of Spain ever since except the period 1601 to 1606, when the capital was Valladolid. I wouldn't call it exactly the "new" capital city of Spain. At the very least it has been the capital for 404 years. Spain has only existed as it is since 1516, or 495 years.

Answer 3

Valladolid and Valencia were also capitals of Spain.

Answer 4

Madrid is the capital of Spain.

Answer 5

Toledo.
