Located on the banks of the Tagus River, the Royal Palace of Aranjuez is one of the residences of the Spanish royal family. This monumental palace was built in the 16th century by order of Felipe II. It is possible to visit several of its dependencies and its enormous gardens, which form a royal complex declared a World Heritage Site.

Declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Surrounded by a total of 111.23 hectares of gardens that can be visited and located in a fertile plain at the confluence of the Tagus and the Jarama, the Royal Palace of Aranjuez has been the country residence par excellence of the Spanish Kings.

Hiking

This was a beautiful walk around the UNESCO WHS town of Aranjuez. It's a world heritage site due to its cultural landscape. The site comprises diverse elements that make up historic vegetable gardens, tree-lined avenues and groves (Legamarejo, Picotajo, El Rebollo), the Palace and ornamental gardens (the Prince’s, the Island, the Parterre, the King’s and Isabella II’s gardens) and the 18th century historic town centre. The conceptual combination of these zones creates a series of landscapes that, together, comprise the Aranjuez Cultural Landscape.
