Los palacios medievales españoles, repletos de ricos textiles y de espléndidas muestras de piedra tallada, estuco y decoraciones de madera en las paredes, eran el opulento (y a menudo intimidante) escenario de las ceremonias reales y de reuniones cortesanas más informales y alegres para disfrutar de espectáculos de música y poesía. En estos espacios, las élites de todas las confesiones interactuaban, unidas por sus sofisticados y refinados gustos en lo tocante a los objetos de lujo.
