Real Sitio de San Ildefonso (La Granja) (Castilla y León, Segovia)

The Royal Site of San Ildefonso is a truly unique place in Spain, located in the province of Segovia, in the autonomous community of Castilla y León. With a population of around 5,500, this charming town is known for being home to two magnificent palaces and a historic glass factory.
Lovers of art and history will find a wealth of experiences here. The Palaces of La Granja and Riofrío are architectural jewels of the 18th century and offer a glimpse of the monarchical splendor of the time. The Royal Site of La Granja de San Ildefonso, declared a Monumental Historical Site, is especially notable. It was the place where Philip V, the first monarch of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, fell madly in love in 1717. Driven by his love for the place, he decided to build a royal palace and gardens adorned with spectacular sculptures and fountains.
The rooms of the palace that are currently open to the public are the former royal apartments, located on the two floors that open onto the eastern façade. Despite a devastating fire that occurred in 1918, the palace has managed to preserve almost all of the fresco decorations from the time of Philip V. This means that visitors can admire the magnificence of the original decoration while exploring the palace.
In addition to the palaces, the Royal Crystal Factory is another treasure found in this Royal Site. Here, visitors can explore the tradition of glass making and admire beautiful pieces of glassware.
The Royal Site of San Ildefonso is a must-see destination for those who wish to immerse themselves in the history, architecture and culture of Spain, and experience the majesty of 18th century royalty in a spectacular setting.
Cloudy and rainy.
But always Excellent
