Abstract


This paper reconstructs the "plan de las inmediaciones" ("project for the surroundings") hypothetically composed by Juan de Villanueva for Madrid Observatorio Astronómico, today disappeared. The data emanated from the drawing dedied to the Observatorio by Isidro Velazquez, Villanueva's best disciple, as well as from the parcel, allow to draw the perfect integration between the building and the surrounding landscape. Because of a number of circumstances two important elements are losten, the original access building and the great 25 feet telescope. Nevertheless, the restoration of the scene conceived by Villanueva, and later drawn by Velazquez, is still perfectly possible.
