Abstract

The paper explains that the Madrid? Casa de Campo? was set up in the 16C. as a royal hunting park and lodge in the times of Phillip ll. As such it grew and developed as a royal place of residence on the outskirts of Madrid. This very private estate, so close to yet having so little to do with the city, was coveted as a public place of recreation by the citizens from 1868 onwards. On 15 April 1931, the day after the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, the estate, now public domain, was thrown open to the public. The paper sees this event as a signal example of private ground being made over to public use on a massive scale. And thus closely analyses the whole process and the problems that it gave rise to.
