Real Sitio de San Ildefonso, Spain · built 1721

The Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Palacio Real de La Granja de San Ildefonso), known as La Granja, is an early 18th-century palace in the small town of San Ildefonso, located in the hills near Segovia and 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of Madrid, within the Province of Segovia in central Spain. It became the summer residence of the kings of Spain from the 1720s during the reign of King Philip V.
