Palacete de los Vargas, Casa de Campo, Baroque palace in Casa de Campo Park, Madrid, Spain
The Palacete de los Vargas stands along the Manzanares River near Puerta del Rio and Puente del Rey within Casa de Campo Park borders.
Francisco de Vargas y Medina initiated the construction of this Renaissance villa in 1519, which later became part of the Royal Site under Philip II in 1552.
The palace structure incorporates Italian Renaissance design elements, reflecting the architectural influences that shaped Madrid's noble residences during the 16th century.
The palace remains closed to visitors, but its exterior and surrounding grounds can be viewed from the pathways within Casa de Campo Park.
The building includes the Felipe II Grottos, a Renaissance pavilion with decorative elements that served as a recreational space for the Spanish royal family.
