A wooded area north of Madrid known as El Pardo had been dedicated to Spanish monarchs since the late Middle Ages. Henry III began the construction of a "pabellón de caza" (hunting lodge) in 1405. In 1543, Charles V ordered the demolition of that building and the construction of a new palace on that site. This palace was largely finished during the reign of Philip II in 1558, exhibiting a fusion of Castilian, Italian, and Flemish architectural styles. From that period on, various additional buildings and expansion of the grounds of El Pardo occurred. In addition, the palace was the site of official business such as the signing of the Treaty of Madrid (1750) between Spain and Portugal. As late as the end of the twentieth century, the palace still serves as a royal residence for the King and Queen of Spain. This detailed, intricate 1823 plan of the Palace and adjacent lands of El Pardo includes property boundaries, streams, roads, planned gardens, cultivated lands, El Pardo and Zarzuela Palaces, the Torre de la Parada, monasteries and other ecclesiastical buildings, guard posts and entry points, and extensive woodlands. A detailed and extensive keyed legend accompanies the map. Map is oriented with northwest at top.
