Gardens del Campo del Moro (Palacio Real de Madrid)


J. L. Gamallo. One of the most beautiful and spectacular historic gardens in Madrid are the gardens of the Campo del Moro , located in the large gap that from the western facade of the Royal Palace down the river Manzanares .

Although the origins could be traced to the seventeenth century , it was not until the nineteenth century when the gardens would be completed in several stages. In 1844 the architect Narciso Pascual y Colomer made ??a path based on the French garden , but that was changed by one of romantic inspiration because Ramon Oliva. It is worth spending a morning or an afternoon to explore and enjoy the avenues, lanes and corners of the garden , leaving the great central avenue from the facade of the Palace down to the Calle de la Virgen del Puerto, main shaft Colomer layout . The vegetation is profuse and varied, with copies of more than 150 years , and some 70 varieties of trees : sequoias , sycamore , beech, oak , locust trees , birches , etc. . Among the birds are swans , peacocks , pheasants , doves and pigeons. Should not miss the small buildings built in the garden , the villa of Cork and Queen bungalow in a Tyrolean style . There are two monumental fountains that of the Tritons and the Shells. A special place for lovers of beauty and art.
