Sabatini Gardens in Madrid is one of the masterpieces of parks that surround the Royal Palace . Therefore, if after a tour of the palace you rush north from it, you will find yourself in the Sabadini Gardens (Jardines de Sabatini), which are spread over 2.5 hectares.
The gardens received their name in honor of the architect Francesco Sabatini, who built stables for the royal family at the end of the 18th century.
