Royal Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso in the small town of San Ildefonso, which is in the hills near Segovia, north of Madrid, Spain. The palace is in a baroque style. It was once the summer residence of the Kings of Spain, now it is open to the public. This view shows a gradually declining staircase, lined with small plinths and a lion statue. The stairs lead to a pool and a small statue of several women perched on a rock. The main palace building is beyond the pool.
