Located in front of the north façade of the Royal Palace and promoted during the Second Republic, the gardens were completed after the Civil War

Their architectural and ornamental character as an extension of the Royal Palace increased when several of the sculptures that were intended to decorate the cornice of the Palace were placed there. With a geometric design, its privileged location makes it one of the most beautiful gardens in Madrid de los Austrias.

Although it is a garden worthy of admiration at any time of the day, it is at nightfall when it reaches its maximum degree of spectacularity, since from it you can witness one of the most impressive sunsets in Madrid. From the large rectangular pond in the center of the garden, surrounded by fountains, trees and white marble sculptures, the visitor will be able to contemplate how the yellow and reddish tones change the tones of the grayish stones of the Palace and will finally see the sun hide behind the perspective of the cottage.
