Foto de stock - The old surveillance booth is located next to the Tagus River in Aranjuez, Madrid. This booth was part of the surveillance and defense system of the Royal Site of Aranjuez during the 18th century. Aranjuez, located about 48 kilometers south of Madrid, was chosen by the Spanish monarchy as a place for rest and recreation. The Royal Site of Aranjuez has numerous palaces, gardens, and historical buildings, which were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001. The surveillance booth in question is in a strategic position next to the Tagus River, allowing for surveillance and control of the river and land traffic in the area. From the booth, the watchers had a privileged view of the river and its surroundings, enabling them to detect any threats or suspicious activities. Today, the old surveillance booth is considered a cultural and historical heritage element of interest.
