One of the gardens of Segovia
The Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso is reminiscent of Versailles not only because of its sumptuous halls but also due to its magnificent fountains, sculptures and gardens, which were designed by René Carlier, a disciple of Louis XIV’s architect. Across its 146 hectares of forests and landscaped gardens, visitors will find 26 monumental fountains, a French-style maze and a large pond known as ‘The Sea’, which supplies water to the fountains.
