    The origin of both the Bridge and the Gate and the esplanade must be found in King Felipe II's desire to connect the Alcazar with the Palacio de los Vargas, which the monarch acquired for his retreats.
    The building was a country house (hence the name of the Madrid park), which facilitated the practice of hunting.
    Besides that, the Palacio de los Vargas was a nice retreat for the king. It was located near the AlcΓ‘zar but outside the wall that surrounded the Villa and on the other side of the Manzanares river. Here he would find the tranquility that was denied him at Court.
