The Spanish monarchy was re-established as a Constitutional Monarchy and as part of the Spanish government by the Spanish Constitution of 1978 after it underwent a short time of abolishment and a different status under Franco.
It has its roots in the Visigothic Kingdom of the 5th century, and several the Christian Kingdoms that followed the Muslim conquest in the 8th century. The different smaller kingdoms on the Iberian Peninsula were united into Spain in the 15th century by the dynastic marriage between Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. Under the rule of Isabella and Ferdinand the Spanish Empire became one of the first global powers as they funded Christopher Columbus's exploratory voyage across the Atlantic Ocean which led to the discovery of America and its Spanish colonization.
