Palace garden, Aranjuez

The Bourbons expanded the extensive gardens and palace complex in Aranjuez on numerous occasions, adapting them to the needs of the court. Villanueva contributed two exceptionally charming pavilions to the park. One has the form of a classical round temple and the other is in the shape of a Chinese pagoda.
