Palacio Real

This imposing-looking structure is one of the first things the visitor to Aranjuez will come across. Surrounded by a number of gardens, this is a peaceful place to stroll around and just generally relax in. Within the building, luxury is very much in evidence, wherever you look. Constructed in the 18th century along the lines of Juan de Herrera’s plans, a series of subsequent works have added to the look of the place since.
