Royal Palace of Riofrío →
Nestled in a lush oak forest inhabited by wild fallow deer, the Royal Palace of Riofrío stands as an austere yet majestic refuge on the slopes of the Guadarrama Mountains in Segovia. Conceived in the mid-18th century by Queen Dowager Elisabeth Farnese as a retreat of mourning following the death of Philip V, this sober Italian Baroque palace evokes the grandeur of Roman residences. Designed by Virgilio Rabaglio, Riofrío harmonizes Bourbon art, a breathtaking double staircase, and an unspoiled natural setting, preserving its timeless allure as a royal hunting sanctuary.
