Locals and tourists know that El Retiro is the park par excellence of the capital and also the one that keeps some of the most beautiful gardens. But there are many more amazing gardens in Madrid, really original.

Greenhouse of the Crystal Palace of Arganzuela

This Crystal Palace is located inside the old municipal slaughterhouse in the district of Arganzuela. Realized by the architect Luis Bellido y González, between the years 1908 and 1928, it was restored in 1992 for the enjoyment of the locals and tourists. With an extension superior to the 7000 square meters, it has a style very similar to the parks of European cities such as Vienna and London and is a faithful example of the iron architecture of the 19th century. With 9000 plant species, distributed in four microclimates, this garden is a paradise for lovers of botany and nature.
