Palacio de Cristal
Madrid • Famous Landmarks
Paseo de Cuba is home to the Palacio de Cristal, a striking glass and iron structure in Retiro Park. Built in 1887, it was initially intended as a greenhouse for Philippine flora, but today it showcases contemporary art exhibitions. The palace's intricate design and scenic lakeside location make it appealing to both photographers and casual visitors. Its tranquil surroundings create a calm atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to explore, especially during spring and fall when the weather is ideal.
