In the 18th century, Charles III reigned, belonging to the House of Bourbon, a man gifted with extraordinary dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit, who promoted the economic and cultural growth of the country. Founder of the Royal Arms Factory of Toledo, he promoted the construction of important architectural works and the modernization of the country's capital, which is why he is known as the best Mayor of Madrid.
The first issue he had to deal with when he acceded to the reign of Spain was the Seven Years' War to stop British expansion in America and, later, he collaborated in the independence of the United States of America. In line with the Enlightenment of his time, Charles III made important changes, without breaking the basic social, political and economic order of Enlightened Despotism.
