Sabatini Gardens

These classical-style gardens were created in the 1930s on the site of the stables built by Sabatini for the Royal Palace, from which they take their name. Located opposite the north façade of the Royal Palace and promoted during the Second Republic, the gardens were completed after the Civil War. Open daily.

Their architectural and ornamental character as an extension of the Royal Palace was enhanced by the placement of several sculptures that were intended to decorate the Palace's cornice. With their geometric design, their privileged location makes them one of the most beautiful gardens in Habsburg Madrid.

While the garden is worthy of admiration at any time of day, it reaches its peak of spectacularity at nightfall, as it offers the opportunity to witness one of the most breathtaking sunsets in Madrid.

From the large rectangular pond in the center of the garden, surrounded by fountains, trees, and white marble sculptures, visitors can contemplate how the yellow and reddish tones change the hues of the greyish stones of the Palace and finally see the sun set behind the perspective of the Casa de Campo.
