Description of Guided visit to El Capricho park
The Parque del Capricho has its origins in the 18th century, when the Duchess of Osuna acquired land on the outskirts of the city of Madrid. Here she had her "caprice" built, which would be a garden with themed spaces, where the dukes could have fun. For this reason, we find different constructions in the park:
- A maze.
- A casino.
- A fort.
- The ruins of a castle.
- A Byzantine hermitage.
- The "old woman's house".
Currently, the park occupies 14 hectares, where we can find gardens in English and Italian style (created by Jean-Baptiste Mulot).
water is a fundamental element in El Capricho. It even made a jetty, a pond and an artificial estuary.
In this place, great artists of the time worked, such as Goya (painting El Columpio or La Pradera de San Isidro) or Boccherini, the composer.

Very interesting and special. Edurne perfectly conveys the unique character of this open-air Garden Museum. Although I know him well, he pleasantly surprised me by showing me places and curiosities that I did not know.Review useful for 0 people Did you find this helpful? Yes
