This house was built during the reign of Charles IV over a modest workers’ house within the gardens of Aranjuez Palace, on the banks of the Tagus River. The works were carried out by Juan de Villanueva and by his assistant, Antonio López Aguado, while J.D. Dugourc was in charge of the decoration. The building has a square floor plan with courtyard. It has three floors and is in Neoclassical style. Inside you can see furniture and decoration from different periods. The María Luisa lounge and Platino room are perhaps the most outstanding.
