Over the centuries, royal chapels were the setting for great ceremonies in which Catholic devotion and royal power were exalted, celebrating liturgical calendar dates as well as royalty commemorations, making use of precious liturgical objects.
The Royal Chamber musicians also contributed to the Court's spectacle, along with a wide scenography provided by various artists, who redesigned the spaces using sumptuous textiles woven with silk and gold threads, where the paraphernalia's precious stones and metals shone in the candlelight.
The Royal Chapel's inventories bear witness to an extensive set of vestments and silver. The items preserved in this collection represent only a small fraction of the former Crown Treasure.
