Popis:	The article presents a case study of Aranjuez, a small town near Madrid that has been a royal summer residence for three hundred and fifty years and was declared a Cultural Landscape World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001, the first in Spain. After describing its historical evolution – its establishment in the 16th century, the culmination of its development in the 18th century, the period of decline that started with the construction of the railway and continued into the late 20th century, and the process of revitalization undertaken in recent years – the analysis focuses on one of its most interesting areas, the Raso de la Estrella, which is currently the object of the development of a specific recovery plan. The article illumi nates the existing problems in the site, the initiatives adopted, the landscape study and the main proposals for the future.
