The former Royal Glass Factory of La Granja is an enormous rectangular complex housing a group of buildings with a total constructed area of nearly 25,000 m². The factory was built according to the plans of the master builder of the Royal Site, Joseph Díaz, known as Gamones, between 1770 and 1784.
The Royal Glass Factory of La Granja is a unique and remarkable space where a variety of glass-related activities can be enjoyed. Visitors can explore the Technology Museum, which boasts magnificent collections of glass pieces, witness live demonstrations of glassblowing at the furnaces, receive training in various glassworking techniques, or purchase a set of glasses or tumblers handcrafted at the Royal Glass Factory from the onsite shop.
