The Casa de Campo is a large urban park situated in Madrid (Spain), next to the Monte de El Pardo. Both the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid and the Madrid Zoo are located inside the park. It is common for many families from Madrid to spend some holidays or weekend days in the park, walking (specially around the lake) and enjoying the nice weather and the small animals that may be seen around (mostly squirrels, rabbits and different kinds of birds).

In 1936-39, during the Spanish Civil War, the front lines of the Siege of Madrid ran through the Casa de Campo, where the Republicans had halted a nationalist offensive in November 1936.
