Inspirational Talk by Fine Arts Historian Karla Darocas, B. A (Hons)  (KarlaDarocas.com)

King Carlos III came to the Spanish crown after spending much of his adult life in Naples, Italy, and was therefore heavily influenced by the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. He carried out a series of urban reforms in Madrid, ranging from public lighting to the paving of the streets. These reforms of the capital also had an aesthetic significance. His aim was to bring the capital of Spain, Madrid, up to the aesthetic level of other European cities such as Paris or Saint Petersburg.
