Palacio Real is surrounded by beautiful gardens such as Jardines del Campo del Moro and squares like Plaza de Oriente. The least famous, and therefore least crowded, is the Sabatini Gardens on the palace’s north side. The delightful, 6.3 acre park features sculpted bushes and trees in geometric shapes. The namesake for Jardines de Sabatini is Francesco Sabatini, an 18th century architect who designed the royal stables that once were located on this land.
