context_page_description: The Palace of Infante don Luis is a neoclassic style palace located in Boadilla del Monte, Community of Madrid, Spain built between 1763 and 1765. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1974.
context_section_description: The palace has an elongated rectangular floor plan (17 x 80 m approximately) with the main entrance façade facing the Northwest and the rear façade facing the south-east facing garden. It has a built area of 6,302.15 m² (citation required). It is articulated in three main bodies, raised to three heights, to which are added two secondary bodies, of a single height, flanking the two sides.
  The materials used in the construction are, for the most part, the red brick and, in the background, the stone, reserved for the doorways, the pediments and the socket, the latter of ashlar is granite. The roofs are made in Arabic tiles.
  The whole is crowned by two small towers located at the ends, on the roofs, which emulate the layout of the original Palace of the Two Towers, on which the current building was erected. They are quadrangular and serve as light bodies, although they have oval vanes that break the linearity of the general layout.
  The two main facades are projected without relief, except for the covers, the pediments and the cornice that tops the building, on which appears a parapet that hides the roof. These two facades, which have very similar layouts, are the northern, which serves as access, and the southern, which overlooks the gardens.
  The central cover is framed with Tuscan columns. Above it rise a balcony with columns Ionic, a semicircular pediment and, above it, a commemorative tombstone, with the inscription "A.D. MDCCLXV », in allusion to the year in which the palace was finished. The remaining covers, located on the sides, are also presided by balconies with pediments, although triangular.
  Ornamental elements are scarce on the outside. These are practically limited to the upper part, adorned with different vases and two coats of arms (corresponding to the king Felipe V of Spain), in white stone of Colmenar de Oreja.
