Jardín del Parterre, Aranjuez, French-style garden near Royal Palace in Aranjuez, Spain
The Parterre Garden features geometric patterns with carefully trimmed boxwood hedges, circular ponds, and water fountains arranged in a trapezoidal layout.
The garden was established between 1728 and 1735 during King Philip V's reign, following designs by engineer Esteban Marchand to introduce French gardening styles to Spain.
Three main fountains within the garden display sculptures of Hercules, Ceres, and Nereids, representing strength, agriculture, and water elements respectively.
Visitors can access the garden through an ornate Rococo-style iron gate, with stone guard posts made from Colmenar stone marking the entrance.
The garden includes a green jasper fountain created by Roque Solario in 1583, which stands at the center of the plant arrangement.
