Crystal Palace

  Built in 1887, the Crystal Palace is located in the Retiro Park area of Madrid. This glass-and-iron structure was originally designed to house exotic plants and became a hub for cultural exhibitions. The main feature of the palace is its expansive glass façade, which offers a unique perspective on the beautiful surrounding gardens. Throughout the year, it hosts various art exhibitions and events, with notable activities often taking place in spring when the nearby flora is in full bloom. Visitors can explore the exhibits inside and take leisurely walks around the adjacent lake, making for a pleasant day out in one of Madrid's iconic green spaces.
