Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso (La Granja)

Nestled on a hillside outside Segovia, the Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso, or simply La Granja, was constructed in the 18th century by Philip V. Initially a royal hunting ground, it later served as a summer retreat and royal residence. The palace is renowned for its baroque architecture and one of Spain’s finest examples of a French formal garden, featuring intricate sculptural fountains. Today, visitors can explore the opulent interiors and stroll through the meticulously landscaped gardens, experiencing a blend of history and natural beauty.
