The Parque del Buen Retiro is Madrid’s great central park. It was laid out in the 1630s as the garden of the Buen Retiro Palace, a royal retreat built for Philip IV, and became a public park in 1868. Today it covers about 125 hectares with more than 15,000 trees, and since 2021 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, a Landscape of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Pond, where you can hire a rowing boat, is overlooked by the Monument to Alfonso XII, whose colonnade has had a viewing platform since 2018. The Crystal Palace, built of glass and iron in 1887 for an exhibition on the Philippines, and the Vel\u00e1zquez Palace host exhibitions of the Reina Sof\u00eda Museum. Look out for the Rosaleda rose garden, the Fallen Angel statue, said to be the only public monument to the devil, the Gal\u00e1pagos Fountain, the puppet theatre and a Montezuma cypress in the Parterre that is almost 400 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cada a\u00f1o, entre finales de mayo y junio, acoge la Feria del Libro de Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
