Palace of Aldovea, 18th century palace in San Fernando de Henares, Spain.
The Palace of Aldovea is an 18th century stone building in San Fernando de Henares, Spain. Four corner towers and a wide projecting eave define the facade, while windows with iron bars and balconies divide the structure.
Prince Luis Antonio de Borbón y Farnesio, Archbishop of Toledo, commissioned the construction in the 1700s. Architect Virgilio Rabaglio designed the building in the style of the period.
The name Aldovea comes from Arabic and refers to the land around the former settlement, used for farming over the centuries. Today the palace serves as a venue for private events such as weddings and family celebrations, with rooms and gardens opened to guests.
The palace lies roughly 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the center of San Fernando de Henares and 3 kilometers (2 miles) from Torrejón de Ardoz. The grounds are organized in two garden levels offering different views of the building and the surrounding countryside.
During the Spanish Civil War the building served as headquarters for General Miaja. It later became a filming location for television productions.
