On Monday, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah joined Her Majesty Queen Letizia of Spain for a visit to Patrimonio Nacional employment workshops at the Royal Palace of Madrid, while accompanying His Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Prince Hashem bin Abdullah on an official visit to Spain.

Patrimonio Nacional, a historical-cultural agency managed by the Spanish government, is in charge of the preservation of a large collection of assets representing Spain's rich national heritage. It also organises cultural, educational, and scientific events, like as training and accreditation possibilities through the Patrimonio Nacional School and Employment Workshops Programme.

Their Majesties were welcomed by Ana de la Cueva, President of Patrimonio Nacional, and began their visit at a woodworks workshop, where they were briefed on the Patrimonio Nacional School and Employment Workshops Programme. The program's goal is to give students with career possibilities and training in a variety of historical-artistic trades that are in great demand in the local labour market.
