This royal factory’s garden is home to dye plants originating from different parts of the world, from the Mediterranean Basin to America, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia and even some plants introduced and naturalised in Australia.<\/p>

Plants used to obtain natural dyes used to give colour to fabrics going back to the time of our ancestors, by many civilizations all over the world.<\/p>

From yellow chamomile used to dye rugs in Turkey, or the rose madder which is used to dye cotton the famous \u201cTurkish red\u201d, or dyer’s woad, known as \u201cblue gold\u201d by the powerful European industrialists of the Middle Ages.<\/p>

They are all historically influential plants that have played a role in the cultural development of different peoples throughout time.<\/p>

The garden serves as an additional cultural interest in the history of the Royal Tapestry Factory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe beautiful yellow colour the berries of these plants provide, sadly, has some discriminatory connotations.

In response, the Fourth Council of the Lateran (1215) imposed that Jews and Saracens living in Christian countries had to wear a distinctive yellow cap.\nThis imposition remained in force for Jews in the Avignon papal states right up to the French Revolution.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe most sumptuous red colour that existed in ancient times was extracted from this cicada-like insect.\nThat from the large kermes oaks of the Levant coast of the Iberian Peninsula was especially sought after; so much so that Roman Hispania paid tributes to Rome with the dye from the Levant coast.\nAs a memory of that great wealth, there are still two mountain ranges in Spain that carry the name \u201cSierra de la Grana\u201d, one in the province of Alicante and one in C\u00f3rdoba.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter the discovery of America, American cochineal went on to replace the Kermes oak as the main source of crimson dye.\nIt’s cultivation in Mexico and Central American in colonial times earned the Crown and Spanish sums surpassed only by those from gold and silver.\nAfter the independence of the colonies, the nopal cactus and its host were acclimatised on the Canary Islands, which became the first producers of Cochineal this side of the Atlantic. Today the most important producer is Peru.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
