Spanish Golden Age period of flourishing in arts and literature in Spain

The Spanish Golden Age is a period of flourishing in arts and literature in Spain, coinciding with the rise of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty. Politically, El Siglo de Oro lasted from the accession to the throne of Philip II of Spain in 1556 to the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. When no precise dating is used, the period begins no earlier than 1492 and ends no later than 1681 with the death of the Pedro Calderón de la Barca, the last great writer of the age.
