The Habsburg-of-the-West residence city, and it reads exactly like one on the page: a Bourbon hothouse whose Aristocrat and King benches index at better than ten times the global baseline, flanked by the expected Architect and Militar cohorts a court town produces to furnish and defend itself. Even after the Revolution it kept generating Playwrights and Composers at a clip most suburbs never manage, a reminder that proximity to power has its own long half-life.
