Garden of the Prince of Anglona

The Garden of the Prince of Anglona is a private garden in the La Latina district featuring geometric patterns of boxwood hedges surrounding a central marble fountain within approximately 800 square meters. The space is enclosed by walls that shield it from the city and holds Mediterranean plantings arranged in classic layouts.

The garden connects to a 16th-century palace and received its current design in 1920 through work by landscape architect Javier de Winthuysen. This redesign introduced a new aesthetic approach to the historic site.

The garden reflects Spanish horticultural traditions through its structured pathways, Mediterranean plants, and geometric flower beds arranged in classical patterns that preserve design methods from an earlier era.

The garden is open daily with longer hours during warm months and shorter hours in the cold season, with the entrance located at Plaza de la Paja. A visit is most pleasant in early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more comfortable.

The garden sits on artificial elevation that compensates for the slope of Segovia Street, creating multiple levels within the enclosed walls. These height differences shape how space feels as you move through it and make each garden area visually distinct.
