The royal glass factory founded at San Ildefonso in 1727, its present building raised between 1770 and 1772. Production stopped in 1963 and it lay abandoned until 1982, when the National Glass Centre Foundation began to restore it. It now houses the Glass Technology Museum and a glassmaking school.
