RECOVERY OF THE HISTORIC GARDEN OF
Quinta of the Duke of Arco
National Heritage/ El Pardo Madrid
Initial proposal recovery of a Quinta (rural) garden retreat next to the court
Background: The villas of terra firma and Casa Valdes "Gardens of Spain"
The withdrawal the "Italian way" that characterizes this Quinta is also a justification for a garden of several levels which, as in the adjacent Palacio del Pardo, was carried out in close collaboration with the Marquesa de Casa Valdes
The proposal for the restoration of the garden was based on intense archaeological and historical studies of sources, especially from the Archives of the Royal Palace of Madrid and the National Castle of Simancas in Valladolid.
Although the implementation was interrupted after the death of Teresa Casa Valdes , the design proposal was used as a reference guide during the stage of the Marquis of Mondejar as director of the National Trust
