Route of the Spanish Queens
Westminster Abbey, officially the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster, is the place where monarchs are crowned, where a large number of them are buried and as a mausoleum in which the nation’s illustrious personages are buried and commemorated.
Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all monarchs (with the exception of two) have followed this tradition. Some of the monarchs of Spanish blood have not only been crowned but are also buried in this place that occupies a unique position in the history of the United Kingdom. The interior of the abbey and a walk around it will remind us of the historical links between the kingdom of Castile, the kingdom of Spain and the kingdom of England.
