This battle marks a turning point in the history of Spain. On the one hand, it signaled the end of the Habsburg dynasty; on the other, it marked the beginning of the Bourbon dynasty under Philip V. The armies of both dynasties—the Two Crowns, representing the Bourbon forces, and the Grand Alliance, defending the House of Austria—clashed on the vast plains of La Mancha to decide the future of the Spanish crown.

The Bourbon victory led, among other things, to the abolition of Valencia’s special privileges—a punishment for the city’s alliance with the Habsburgs during the conflict.

The diorama features figures from Minifix and Essex and is particularly notable for the historical accuracy with which the conflict is depicted. This level of precision is the result of extensive research conducted by Álvaro Noguera and brought to fruition by his son Alejandro, with the help of his collaborators.
