🏆 The Silver Crown of Amadeo I of Savoy 🏆
📜 A Piece of Spanish History
Amadeo I of Savoy, a monarch with a brief yet impactful reign, arrived in Cartagena on December 30, 1870, and reached Madrid on January 2, 1871. His first act was to pay homage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Atocha to the late General Prim, his main supporter, who had been assassinated just days before. This somber beginning set the tone for his turbulent reign, as opposition united diverse factions, from republicans to Carlists, against him.
