Abstract
El presente trabajo tiene por objeto de estudio las ceremonias públicas de la monarquía en la creación del Estado liberal español, entre 1814 y 1868. La Europa liberal y constitucional entendió la Corona como una pieza esencial del edificio político, social y cultural que se intentó levantar sobre las ruinas de la revolución. La dinámica de integración de la monarquía en el liberalismo no fue nada sencilla, particularmente por la resistencia que reyes y reinas ofrecieron para mantener sus funciones y soberanía. En este proceso por encontrar una nueva posición en el sistema y nuevos argumentos de legitimación, fue particularmente importante su capacidad de simbolización.

Por esa razón, las ceremonias de la monarquía tuvieron un lugar central en los sistemas europeos del siglo XIX. A la postre, eran la escenificación de unos discursos políticos con los que definir el sentido identitario de la comunidad y generar sentimientos de adhesión...
The purpose of this research is to study the public ceremonies of the monarchy in the creation of the Spanish liberal state, between 1814 and 1868.
