The contribution of ideas to improve the Royal Site of Aranjuez during the reign of Philip II was not reduced only to the circle of architects and engineers who worked for the king, but had potential collaborations courtesans, as the proposals offered in the spring of 1580 by Francisco de Zuniga y Sotomayor, IV Duke of Bejar, documented in a letter to the royal secretary Mateo Vazquez de Leca. The Duke’s contribution was mainly concerned with the location of the Casa de los Oficios, to the provision of a covered and discovered walkway and the creation of a landscaped area of transition between the Oficios and the private garden of the king, ideas are studied in the context of real works (in some cases revised chronology) under the hypothesis that were considered in the project change to the Casa de los Oficios after 1578, conducted wholly or partly since 1584.
