With the refinement of the Royal Palace, the gardens that surround it were built and decorated for two centuries. Following the Versailles model, they wanted to control nature to turn the garden into another room of the palace. The Island Garden has splendid trees, large avenues and numerous stone and marble fountains dedicated to characters and scenes from Greek mythology. On the other side we find the Parterre Garden, which features a great variety of flowers. The Prince's Garden, the largest of all, It has wide walks and very varied tree species. All of them have monumental fountains with spectacular water features. Continuing to the bottom we find the Casa del Labrador, one of the most splendor buildings of the Bourbon dynasty. Very close to the pier is the Falúas Museum, where you can see the luxurious boats that sailed through the Tagus and that belonged to Carlos IV, Fernando VII or Alfonso XII.
