Free Tour of the Gardens of the La Granja Palace
Tour description
We will meet in front of the Royal Collegiate Church of the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, the starting point to understand why Philip V and Elisabeth Farnese made this place their refuge: a palace with French-style gardens adapted to the personality of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
From the Horseshoe Courtyard, we will begin a tour of the symbolism of the fountains: at the Forest Fountain, Vertumnus and Pomona will appear; then, the Neptune and Amphitrite fountains will introduce us to the language of courtly power; later, the Fountain of the Winds will lead us to some curious Dragons and the geometric layout of the Plaza of the Eight Streets.
We will continue with the Frog Fountain and the legend of Latona until reaching the most spectacular finale: the Baths of Diana and the monumental Fountain of Fame, whose vertical jet proclaims Bourbon prestige.
