The gardens feature a formal Neoclassical style, consisting of well-trimmed hedges in symmetrical geometric patterns, decorated with a pool, statues, and fountains, with trees placed in a symmetrical geometric shape. The statues belong to Spanish kings and were not originally designed to even adorn a garden, but initially fill the adjoining palace. The calm array is a peaceful corner where you can see the palace.

The gardens are divided into three terraces. The first is a layer of water that has great symmetry in its design and functions as a central mirror. The second terrace is located on the first terrace where you can see the entire facade of the Royal Palace with a pine grove. To the east of this second terrace is the third terrace.
