Historical context :

Swordmaking in the city of Toledo dates back to Roman times, but it was under Moorish rule and during the Reconquista that Toledo and its swordmaking guild played a key role. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the Toledo swordmaking industry boomed, to the point where its products came to be considered the best in Europe. Swords and daggers were made by individual craftsmen, although the Swordmakers' Guild oversaw their quality. Carlos III. The Royal Manufacture brought together all the city's sword guilds and was located in the old Mint. In 1777, recognizing the need to expand the space, Carlos III commissioned the architect Sabatini to construct a new building on the outskirts of the city. This was the beginning of several phases of expansion. Its importance was such that it eventually developed into a town within the city of Toledo.
