was a Spanish Royal court residence from the 15th century. During the

place of pageantry, hunting, and a source of inspiration for the
patronage of some of the greatest Spanish writers. During the Age of
Enlightenment the city reached its maximum splendour and musicians,
composers, painters, architects and other artists surrounding the court
left their imprints in the town, gardens and buildings.
