The palace gardens
The Real Sitio de San Ildefonso (royal site of St. Ildefonso) is comprised
of the three villages of La Granja,Valsaín and Pradera de Navalhorno.The
first historical reference to La Granja, links it to the monarchs of Castille
and the hunting rights they possessed for the Valsaín mountains. It is owing
to Enrique IV (1450) and his fondness for hunting that the first construction was built which would end up becoming the temporary headquarters of the Spanish court; it was a hunting lodge and a shrine
dedicated to St. Ildefonso. Both buildings passed into the hands of the
Hieronymite monks of the El Parral monastery in Segovia. In 1477 the Catholic monarchs donated the royal house of San Ildefonso to this religious community who built a hostel and a farm, in Spanish “granja”, on the
land, from which the name “La Granja” is derived. La Granja was the place
·4·
chosen by Felipe V, the first monarch of the
Bourbon dynasty, to retreat from his State duties. Felipe V, Duke of Anjou, bought the farm, the
shrine and all the surrounding land from the Hieronymites in 1720, in order to build a residence
away from the pageantry of the court. In 1724
the king abdicated in favour of his son Luis I and
11/12/13

in the same year the construction of the palace
was finished although the king was never able to
enjoy his longed-for retreat owing to the premature death of his heir on 31st August of that
same year.
The palace gardens
·5·
The intended palace retreat became the headquarters of the court, which involved the construction of neighbouring buildings to
accommodate the royal entourage: ministers,
chamberlains, aides and grooms. His widow, Isabel de Farnesio, would be the one to oversee
the the completion of the complex. At the end
of her days, she chose to be buried in the Colegiata as her husband Felipe V had done previously. During the reign of Carlos III, the Real
Sitio de La Granja acquired its definitive appearance with the consolidation of this Baroque
quarter, inhabited by a booming aristocratic population, teeming around the summer residence
of the monarch. From here onwards, the history
of this enchanted spot, will be part of the great
history of Spain.This dream of erudite monarchs
who recreated the perfect place to carry out the
great adventure that is life, would be the place in
which Carlos IV was married to María Luisa de
Parma, where the Tratado de San Ildefonso (treaty of St. Ildefonso) was signed, where Fernando
VII, on his death bed, repealed the Pragmática
Sanción (Pragnatic sanction), where the uprising
of the sergeants of the palace guard took place
(1836) forcing the queen María Cristina to reestablish the Constitution of 1812... The Trastámaras, the Austrias, the Bourbons... The list of
historical events linking the Spanish monarchy to
the Real Sitio de San Ildefonso is endless, in the

same way as its architectural legacy lives on: the
royal palace, the Colegiata (collegiate church),
the Casa de Canónigos (the cannons' house),
the Caballerizas (mews), the Casa de Oficios
(servants's and labourer's quarters), the guards'
quarters, the royal gardens, the hunting palace of
Riofrío, Real Fábrica de Cristales (royal crystal
factory). La Granja is Baroque, it's palatial, it substitutes the austerity of Medieval buildings with
the sinuous outlines of the Baroque, the disorder
of 13th century constructions for organised
town planning, the proud, flat horizon of Castille
for the exuberant vegetation which bursts out
of every corner.

Royal palace of La Granja
In 1720 Felipe V bought from the Hieronymites the farm and hostel which they owned in
this spot which had been donated to them by
the Catholic monarchs, with the intention of
preparing it as his retreat. The chief architect,
Teodoro Ardemans, was commissioned in
1720 to turn the house of the Hieronymites
into a royal residence and, once it was finished,
Felipe V decided to erect a building with a different layout, giving rise to the construction of
the new palace in April, 1721. On 27th July,
1723 the palace was blessed although the
complex wasn't finished until 1761 when Carlos III was on the throne.

Royal gardens
Royal gardens
The palace gardens occupy an area of 146
hectares and, according to opinion, were inspired by those of Versalles, although nobody
would dare to deny the character and uniqueness of these gardens in which parterres
are fused with natural architecture and woodland. They contain a huge collection of fountains with water jets made even more
attractive by the dense foliage surrounding
them.
· 10 ·
The monumental fountains
There are twenty-six monumental fountains in
the palace gardens, all based on classical
mythology, although popular fantasies about
each one of the sculptures have never run
short which tell of a mishmash of wishes, premonitions of doom...
Some of them are:
Fountain of the jungle: Designer: Jean Thierry.
Main characters: Pomone and Vertumnus. Formed by a large pond divided into four.
The horse race: Designers: René Frémin and
Jean Thierry. It is composed of the following
fountains: Fountain of the snails, the fan, Neptune, Apollo, half moon, pond the Andromeda
pond.
11/12/13
The new waterfall: Designers: René Frémin
and Jean Thierry. This group main be found at
the palace's main façade, surrounded by a
handsome parterre or garden and is composed of Fountain of Amphitrite, the cascade and
the Fountain of the three graces.

Fountain of Fame
Fountain of the winds: Designer: René Frémin
and the mythological character represented is
Eolo. It is a small circular pond in the centre of
which upon a rock is the god Eolo with a
crown and centrepiece. He has the wind entrapped in a large receptacle, represented by
children's heads.
Fountain of the dragons: Designer: Jean
Thierry. These are two fountains with four,
large, realistically-worked dragons.
Fountain of the eight lanes: Designers: Jean
Thierry and Frémin. Surrounding a circular
plaza, into which eight lanes flow. In the centre
there is a marble pedestal, upon which a group
of figures sit: Psyche, Mercury and Cefirillo.
Fountain of the basket: Designer: René Frémin.
Although without mythological legend, this is
one of the most eye-catching for its water jets.
It also has the peculiarity that it soaks while
functioning. A spout rises out of the centre of
the basket which spurts the water to a height
of twenty-five metres. From the edge of the
· 11 ·
Fountain of the baths of Diana
11/12/13
basket thirty-two oblique spouts protrude,
which, with enough pressure spray water outside the fountain. The Infanta Isabella, “La
Chata”, greatly favoured this fountain.
Fountain of the baths of Diana: Designers: Dumandré and Pitué, using plans by Santiago
Bousseaux. Mythological characters: Diana, Actaeon, Nymps.This was the last fountain to be
built and it is said that at its unveiling Felipe V
said: “Three minutes you have entertained me
but three million you have cost me” (three million reales de vellón).

The “sea”: It is important to mention the great
lake at the highest point of the park, whose
waters feed the majority of the fountains.
Fountain of the frogs: Designer: Frémin.
Mythological character: Leto with her sons,
Apollo and Diana. Labourers. With water jets
almost as eye-catching as those of the Canastillo, its represents the moment in which the
peasants were turned into frogs by Jupiter, a
punishment for their wrongdoings against Leto
and her sons.
Fountain of Fame: Designers: Dumandré and
Pitué. Mythological characters: Fame, Pegasus,
Ignorance, Envy. Its is situated to the right of
the palace and from the railings one can contemplate the marvellous parterre it precedes,
made up of boxwoods and yews, cut inot
forms. The spectacle of this fountain, owing to
the height the water reaches (47m), is a true
symphony of colour and light.

Built by Teodoro Ardemans as a royal chapel it
was erected shortly after as the Royal Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity. The capilla de
las Reliquias (chapel of the relics) houses a funerary monument where the remains of Felipe V and Isabel de Farnesio rest.

In 1727 Ventura Sit and Carlos Sac applied for
a royal licence to set up s small plate glass factory in San Ildefonso.
Royal Crystal Factory, one of the finest examples of industrial architecture in Europe, is an
enormous rectangular structure which houses
in its interior a series of buildings which make
up almost 25.000 m2.
Of clean and simple architecture, this majestic
building managed to answer the demand for
work and the production of glass in the 18th
century. Rigorous organisation of space maximised the efficiency and rationality of production processes. In 1997, the regional
government agreed to declare the factory and
grounds a Property of Cultural Interest.

Nowadays, the Real Fábrica de Cristales houses:
· National Glass Foundation.
· Glass Technology Museum composed of:
· Technological exhibition.
· Live demonstration by a master glassworker.
· Exhibition rooms.
· Shop.
Glassworking school: with great expertise as
much on a technical level as an artistic one in
all the techniques used in the processing and
transformation of glass.
Escuela Superior del Vidrio: offering training to
qualified professionals in all he facets of glassworking. El Título Superior de Vidrio is equivalent to a university diploma.
The participation of the town in the project
"European Cities of Glass" as one of the reference points in the European glassworking
sector since the 18th century, has allowed for
the diffusion of information on the history and
buildings related to the culture of glass and to
vindicate the historical role of glass as one of
the main local socio-economic agents along
with the timber industry.

Palace of Riofrío
The construction of the palace was due to the
initiative of Isabel de Farnesio, the second wife of
Felipe V, who was concerned of being denied the
palace and gardens of La Granja, given that her
stepson, Fernando VI, was on the throne. In 1751
she purchased the pasture and game preserve of
Riofrio from the Marquis of Paredes, where the
following year the palace of the same name was
built. In 1759, following the death of Fernando VI,
she was called to exercise regency and the project to make Riofrío a “Sitio Real” (royal site) similar to La Granja, was relegated.
Despite its large dimensions, the palace of Riofrío
became a hunting lodge. Differing from the majority of Spanish palaces, Riofrío is austere, simple
and far removed from the Baroque style. However, in its interior one can find one of the most important examples of Baroque architecture in all
Spain, its main staircase, composed of two flights
of stairs which lead from the hall in opposite directions, providing a genuine spectacle.

Hunting museum
The palace of Riofrío nowadays houses a Hunting Museum. If a museum dedicated to this
ancestral pursuit should exist, this is indeed the
most fitting place for it, not only for the great
fondness for the sport of Isabel de Farnesio,
and her son the infante Don Luis, but also for
the large number of animals of the deer family
in the surrounding woodland. It offers a complete overview of the process of hunting
throughout history, from primitive to modern
times, and a multitude of animals are on display owing to the craft of taxidermy. It is bursting with artistic decoration: paintings by the
great masters, such as Velázquez, Rubens, Giusseppe Bonito, Toribio Alvarez...; 18th century
tapestries from the Real Fábrica de Santa Bárbara; sculptures, furnishings and antique weapons of an incalculable historic value...

The two entrance gates to the historic quarter which are still in use are: “La Puerta de Segovia” (Segovia gate) which leads directly onto
the Plaza de España through the poplar grove
flanked by the mews and the guards' quarters,
and “La Puerta de La Reina” (the queen's gate)
which retains the inscription of when and by
whom it was created “Reynando Carolus III”.
Lends its name to the town square. This Baroque church was designed in 1764, and was built
in the place of a humble shrine. A sculpture by
the great Luís Salvador Carmona after which
the church was named can be viewed inside.

Valsaín
Valsaín, three kilometres from La Granja, had
the good fortune of being the setting where
the first palace of all the Reales Sitios (royal
sites) was built. It was Felipe II who commissioned the construction of a palatial residence in
the same spot where previous monarchs had
done so earlier. The architect was Gaspar de
11/12/13
Vega and the building work lasted from 1552 to
1556.The decoration of the palace was carried
out by the likes of artists such as Gaspar Becerra, Rómulo Cincinato, Juan Flores and Francisco Urbino. Up until 1571, the palace of Valsaín
saw its best moments, in 1570 the celebrations
of the fourth nuptials of Felipe II, whose wedding was held in the Alcázar of Segovia, were
held here. Felipe II and Felipe IV visited the palace, but in April 1686, during the reign of Carlos II, a voracious fire destroyed part of the
building, provoking its decline which would become definitive once the palace of La Granja
was built, in which many elements from the paThe palace of Valsaín

lace of Valsaín were recycled: balconies, building

linked to the crown, comprise one of the most
beautiful natural areas in Spain, where the finest
specimens of Scots pine are to be found, which
are sold commercially under the registered trademark of “Maderas de Valsaín”.The woodland
occupies an area of some 10,672 hectares. Cohabiting with pines and oaks are holm oaks,
yews, holly trees, black poplars, hazels etc.
Common shrubs include heather and broom.
There are a total of up to 800 woodland species, without forgetting the extraordinary variety of aromatic plants and singular richness in
wild mushrooms: mainly milk caps and porcini.

Festivals and traditions
The Real Sitio de San Ildefonso has a wide and varied calendar of festivities, some long-established
and others more modern, but already deeply rooted.The main festival La Granja is celebrated in honour of San Luís (St. Lewis) (25th August). The broad program of events spanning a week includes
bullfights, the switching on of the fountains in the palace gardens and the traditional bean stew cook
up where everybody can try the local speciality: the Judión (large white bean) of La Granja.
On the first weekend in September, the festival in honour of the Our Lady of he Rosary is celebrated in Valsaín. As well as bullfights, there is a singular woodcutting competition which ties in with the
ancestral logging tradition of the village.
The woodcutting is also held during the San Antón festival, on 17th January.
La Granja's historic quarter is the solemn setting for Easter processions in which the Santo Sepulcro, Virgen de la Soledad, Cristo Yacente and Cristo de los Alijares floats are noteworthy. On Good
Friday, the striking Procesión de las Cruces (Procession of the Crosses) takes place, in which barefoot penitents dressed in Franciscan robes, carry heavy crosses fashioned out of oak or ash.
On the first weekend in June, the Baroque market is held, which has become a reference point for
other themed markets in Castille-Leon. Theatre, performances, rides, music and parades animate a
large market in which over one hundred craftsmen and traders participate.
Also tying in with the Baroque origins of the Real Sitio, on 28th August the Misa de la Pera (pear
mass) is held, which recalls when the monarchs gave a piece of fruit to each inhabitant.

Gastronomy
After taking in the culture and landscape of the area, one has to try the typical cuisine of La Granja
and Valsaín.There is a varied choice from which one is guaranteed to be satisfied. For an aperitif, one
can try a glass of local wine with ham, chorizo sausage and Castillian cheese. For lunch, a plate of the
famous judiones de La Granja (large white beans stewed with chorizo sausage) is a must, followed
by some Valsaín trout, and, for dessert, some raspberries from the village gardens or, if not in season,
one could choose the delicious ponche segoviano (cinnamon sponge soaked in sweet liqueur). Suckling pig and lamb roasted in a wood-fired oven are also traditional, dishes at which the restaurants
in Segovia and the province excel. Both in La Granja and Valsaín there are good “asadores” (roasting
houses), which pay close attention to the quality of the meat and the temperature of the ovens, so
that the visitor is satisfied and will want to return.

The Real Sitio de San Ildefonso takes its identity from the splendour of the Age of
Enlightenment, with its artistic peculiarities, always linked to the philosophy of enlightenment. Since then, all the comings and goings of ideas and people, of plans and
future projects, have given this Real Sitio its present character. Distinguished figures
such as Ardemans, Procaccini, Juvarra, Sacchetti, etc. have formed a part of its history.
In recent years a large number of varied cultural events have been held, seeking to project this identity into the modern era.Thus, La Granja is a member of the foro de Ciudades de la Ilustración (Forum
of Cities of Enlightenment) and the Red de Ciudades Europeas del Vidrio (European Network of Cities of Glass).
Events held in la Granja include:
Noches Mágicas de La Granja (Magical evenings in la Granja).
Festival Internacional de Música y Danza (International Festival of Music and Dance).
Festival Internacional de Magia: La Magia del Real Sitio (International Festival of Magic).
Los Conciertos de Las Noches de Verano del Real Sitio con Katarina Gurska (summer concerts with
Katarina Gurska).
La Granjazz (jazz festival).
Festival Internacional de Danza de “La Esteva” (International dance festival).
Muestra de Teatro Aficionado (amateur dramatics festival).
Today the Real Sitio de San Ildefonso, through the awareness of its history, has found the key to building a future based on respect for its environment, economic growth and the promotion of culture
and the arts. Therefore, business tourism, for La Granja, is no more than the expression of its spirit,
moulded throughout centuries, incorporating the most important scientific, technological, cultural
and artistic advances of our time. Some of the most important Spanish universities have a presence
in the town, being the venue for their prestigious summer programmes. The social and generational
