Photograph - Photographs
The Central Gardens at the Royal Palace are arranged around the central monument to Philip IV, in a grid, following the barroque model garden. They consist of seven flowerbeds, each packed with box hedges, forms of cypress, yew and magnolia of small size, and flower plantations, temporary. These are bounded on either side by rows of statues paths, popularly known as the Gothic Kings, acting as line of division of the other two quadrants.
The sculpture collection, really, are of twenty Spanish kings corresponding to five Visigoth kings and fifteen kings of the early Christians kingdoms in the Reconquista. These statues, made of limestone, are distributed in two rows that cross the quadrant to east-west, on both sides of the Central Gardens.
