Spain. they were the riches because of gold from the Americas
Spain, they became the most powerful country in Europe in the 16th Century as they were first to discover the Western Hemisphere and the Pacific Ocean. They rapidly capitalized on this new discovery, and through there conquest of almost the whole of Central and South America, they conquered the two most wealthy and powerful empires in the Americas; the Aztec and the Inca.
In the 16th century, Spain emerged as the richest and most powerful country due to its vast colonial empire, which included territories in the Americas, parts of Europe, and Asia. The influx of wealth from gold and silver mines, particularly in present-day Mexico and Peru, bolstered its economy and military strength. Additionally, Spain's dominance in trade and its formidable naval power allowed it to exert influence over global politics and economics during this period.
The Renaissance did not fall as such; but the most powerful and richest influence in Italy was the Vatican. Then (as now) the Catholic Church obstructed the progress of science; the most famous example being the Church's persecution of the great genius Galileo.
