  Aranjuez is one of the few places in Spain declared a Cultural Landscape by UNESCO. With its winding canals and irrigation channels, which contrast with the straight lines of the rural and urban landscape, its tree-lined gardens and the delicately modulated architecture of its palatial buildings, Aranjuez is an example of the complex relationship between humans and nature. Over the course of three hundred years, the Spanish monarchs dedicated themselves to designing and caring for this site, making it a sample of the evolution of the concepts of humanism and political centralization, as well as a landscape in which the characteristics of the French baroque garden of the 18th century converge with those of the urban way of life of the Age of Enlightenment.
