Parks & Nature
(12 min walk)
Classical-style gardens created in 1930’s on the site of the stables built by Sabatini. Their construction began during the 2nd Republic and completed after the Civil War. Their architectural and ornamental styling as an extension of the Royal Palace were enhanced on account of the exhibition of several sculptures that were originally planned to decorate the cornice of the palace. Their geometric design and fortunate location make them some of the most beautiful gardens in Madrid de los Asturias. Although they look spectacular at any time of the day, at dusk they are truly magnificent, as it is one of the best sites in Madrid from which to watch the sunset.
