Sabatini Gardens, Madrid

The Sabatini Gardens in Madrid is actually an extension of the Royal Palace area. King Juan Carlos I opened the Garden to the visitors from 1978. One of the architects who had designed the palace and its surrounding areas was Francesco Sabatini. This Italian architect was responsible for most of the works and the designers of the palace. He had planned a garden in the adjoining area but had failed to accomplish it. The gardens were built many years later in the place of the Royal Stables, which was designed by the dead architect.
