Summary:In this paper we will analyse the process of enclosure of El Pardo in the times of Ferdinand VI, an area of mixed use, both by the crown and by private individuals, where the monarch exercised, through the hunting boundaries, jurisdictional control over the whole area, a fundamental instrument of the crown to delimit and protect its properties. The construction of this “cordon” and the regulation of 1752 made it possible to achieve full control of this unique area, and we will therefore analyse the expenses incurred in this process and the land acquisitions that took place between 1750 and 1764, which tripled the previous area, reaching 67,490 bushels of land in 1769 En este trabajo vamos a analizar el proceso de cierre del monte de El Pardo en tiempos de Fernando VI, un espacio de aprovechamiento mixto, tanto de la corona como de particulares, en donde el monarca ejercía, por los límites de caza, el control jurisdiccional de todo el espacio, instrumento fundamental de la corona para delimitar y proteger sus propiedades. La construcción de este cordón y el reglamento de 1752 permitió conseguir el control pleno de este espacio singular, por lo que analizaremos los gastos que ocasionó este proceso y las adquisiciones de tierras que se llevaron a cabo, entre 1750 y 1764, y que triplicaron el espacio previo, hasta alcanzar en 1769 las 67.490 fanegas de tierras
