Madrid's historic estate hides an 18th-century garden and a Republican bunker 15 meters underground

The Parque de El Capricho, located in the Barajas district of Madrid, is a historic site featuring an 18th-century garden and a Republican-era bunker situated 15 meters underground. While the park is a known public space, it remains relatively under-visited by many local residents despite its unique historical and architectural features.

The site serves as a notable example of Madrid’s preserved cultural heritage, combining botanical history with subterranean military infrastructure from the Spanish Civil War period. Its status as a lesser-known destination highlights the contrast between its significant historical value and its current level of public recognition.
