La Granja de San Ildefonso
Listed under Castles & Palaces in Segovia, Spain.
La Granja de San Ildefonso sits at the foot of the Sierra de Guadarrama. King Felipe V's take on Versailles is suitably impressive, with cool gardens and French-Italian touches in the architecture. Still used for the odd Spanish royal shindig.
