Abstract

This work presents the Royal Factories promoted by the Spanish crown in the 18th and 19th centuries in the context of European industrialisation. They are classified together with the main types of factories and some specific examples are described. The article includes a discussion on the conditions that promoted their proliferation as the precursors of present-day state-owned industry, as well as the main causes that led to their decline.
