El Palacio del Negralejo was iniciatly a castle in ruins on the banks of the Jarama River, very close to the city of Madrid, at the small city of Rivas-Vaciamadrid. There is where a noble family built its own palace. Its name comes from the type of pines “Negrales”, with high crowns and dark tree trunks, which covered a great part of the surrounding of the palace. Later, in the XIX centrury, it was the marquis of Villamejor who took the palace and built his famouse horse stables and renamed the place as Figeroa’s Stud.
This glorious palace had at the time four towers but a fire destroyed them partially. In the reconstruction they left the palace with its current apprearance.
