Some of the earliest known civilizations in the region were the Iberians, Celts, and Phoenicians. Over the centuries, Spain was invaded and ruled by various groups, including the Romans, Visigoths, and Moors.<\/p>\n In the 15th and 16th centuries, Spain became a dominant world power, with a vast empire that included territories in the Americas, Asia, and Africa. This period, known as the Spanish Golden Age, was marked by significant cultural, artistic, and scientific achievements, including the works of Miguel de Cervantes and the paintings of Diego Vel\u00e1zquez.<\/p>\n In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Spain experienced significant political turmoil, including the loss of its colonies in the Spanish-American War and the rise of dictatorships under Miguel Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco. Following Franco’s death in 1975, Spain transitioned to a democratic government and has since become a member of the European Union and a modern, industrialized nation with a vibrant cultural heritage.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suitcaseinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bandera_de_Espana.png” alt=”Spanish Flag” title_text=”Spanish Flag” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”32px” header_3_font=”Montserrat|600|||on||||” header_3_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span>Spanish Flag<\/span><\/h3>\nThe Spanish flag features three horizontal stripes of red, yellow, and red, with the national coat of arms in the center of the yellow stripe.
