The royal crown of Spain is a heraldic object that occupies the function of a royal crown on the flag of Spain, the coat of arms of Spain and other national symbols of Spain and the Spanish monarchy. It is defined in three legal norms, from 1981 and 1982, but it has no real existence as a physical object.
The crown that presides over the proclamation ceremonies of the kings of Spain (since in Spain there is no coronation ceremony) is not called the crown of Spain or the Spanish crown (an institutional term with various uses, but usually referring to the Kingdom of Spain or the king of Spain), it is known as the tumular crown of the kings of Spain.
The last time the corona tumular was used at a public ceremony was in the Cortes Generales during the swearing-in of King Felipe VI on 19 June 2014 after the abdication of his father, King Juan Carlos I. Since July 2014, the royal crown and sceptre are on permanent public display for the first time ever in the so-called Crown Room at the Royal Palace of Madrid in Madrid, Community of Madrid, Spain.
