Jardín del Rey, Aranjuez, Renaissance garden in Aranjuez, Spain
The garden features four central beds with box hedging compartments, decorated with fuchsias, miniature roses, and small potted orange trees throughout the year.
Juan Bautista de Toledo designed the garden in 1561, and Juan de Herrera completed its construction between 1577 and 1582 for King Philip II.
The central fountain crafted from green jasper by Roque Solario in 1580 stands amid walls containing niches displaying busts of Roman emperors.
Located at Plaza de Parejas 16, the garden permits access through multiple entry points, including a ground-floor gallery connecting to the Royal Palace.
The garden floor combines river pebbles with Colmenar stone slabs, featuring a statue of Philip II by Pompeo Leoni from 1568 on its western wall.
