In the year 1630, the Count, Duke of Olivares gave King Philip IV a series of lands near the Jerónimos church to create a new palace and an area for recreation for the monarchy. Here beginsthe history of Retiro Park.
The park has undergone many reforms and modifications by the Bourbon kings, until reaching its current state. The pond, the Crystal Palace, the carriage ride, the parterre and the fallen angel are some of the best-known spaces in the Retiro.
