The Sabatini Gardens are part of the Royal Palace in Madrid, Spain, and were opened to the public by King Juan Carlos I in 1978. They honour the name of Francesco Sabatini, an 18th-century Italian architect who designed the royal stables of the palace, which used to be located at the site, as well as other works at the palace. In 1933, the clearing of the stable buildings was begun, as well as the construction of the gardens, which were completed only in the late 1970s.
