Madrid is a special city in that its city centre is actually not central. From the city centre, you can walk to Casa de Campo: basically nature on the doorstep of the Spanish capital.
The history of Casa de Campo goes back to the early 16th century, when this terrain was bought by noble families, in particular the Vargas family who had a country house constructed here - hence the name: Casa de Campo. Its proximity to the Royal Palace makes it a logical extension, and indeed, in the mid-16th century, Philip II acquires the area we now know as Casa de Campo. This terrain was subsequently expanded by purchasing more adjacent terrain. One of the main interests of Philips II was to use the extensive terrain as hunting grounds, to be used exclusively for the royal family. It basically continued to be so until 1931, when the entire Casa de Campo was opened to the people of Madrid. Quite soon after that, it became a battleground during the Civil War, and most of the buildings were destroyed.
