Sumario:This paper studies the configuration of space in the frame of Casa del placer honesto. Through the analysis of natural elements present in the house where the action takes place (the garden and fountains), and the creation of environments that recreate nature by imitation, it is possible to conclude that the work introduces a progressive pursuit of locus amoenus inside of the urban locus inhospitus. This ascending line breaks down abruptly when the illness arrives, and the impossibility of utopia is discovered.
