5. Power and powers in the history of Europe: oligarchies, political participation and democracy.
In any revolutionary period it is possible to establish an interrelation between cultural changes -or rather, of cultural politics- and the phenomena of political change. The materialization of this principle is even more evident in the period between 1868-1874, all the more so since it is precisely one of the specific features of the liberal progressivism of the 19th century bourgeoisie, desire, enunciated as an ideological principle, to liberalize the world of culture and put it at the service of greater social participation.

The biography of the famous jurist Don Juan de Solórzano Pereira is well known, but not so much his relationship with artistic issues.

The old Isla Plana, off the coast of Alicante and Santa Pola, has long been an insular enclave valued both for its geographical position and for the wealth of fish in its surrounding waters. However, it remained uninhabited until the last third of the 18th century, when an ambitious project for a military stronghold and civil colonization of the island was promoted, in accordance with the reformist philosophy of the Spanish Enlightenment in the time of King Carlos III. , halfway between utopia and reality. That project would be known as Nueva Tabarca, in memory of the origin of its first settlers. Two characters were key in its configuration and development: the former captain general of Valencia and later president of the Council of Castilla, the Count of Aranda, and the military engineer, Infantry Colonel Fernando Méndez de Rao Sotomayor.

The Federico Marés Museum has among its rich collection a work that is representative of Gothic sculpture in Toledo from the last quarter of the 14th century. This is the sepulchral monument of Don Pedro Suárez de Toledo, a member of two of the most powerful families who played an important role in the political life of the 14th and 15th centuries.
These coins were campaign coinage, possibly issued as a result of the first entry of Alfonso the Battler into Toledo as King of Castile.
The women belonging to the House of Austria played an important role in maintaining, strengthening and exalting the Habsburg family, becoming the pillars that contributed to sustaining and consolidating it as the hegemonic dynasty in 16th century Europe. They were powerful women who acted as true masters in the art of negotiation and political mediation, who knew how to move skilfully in the court environment and who used all the symbolic, propagandistic and religious elements to make the dynasty the main political reference of the time.
