The Palacio de Cristal ("Crystal Palace ") is a glass and metal structure located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park . It was built in 1887 to exhibit flora and fauna from the Philippines.

Amazing palace , the astonishing play of light and shadow, equally beautiful from inside and outside. The palace placed near the lake with swans, ducks and a lot of other birds.

Uri Erel

worth walking from the train station and climbing to see it and the lake aside

The most beautiful building in El Retiro park . Must absolutely see.

Based on the idea that literature broadens our horizons and we should be free to imagine anything. A beautiful must-see!

Kelly Marcelino

Lovely place in a big and amazing park !!

Harald B.

Fancy crystal palace . You have to queue to enter.

Miguel Gutierrez Rodriguez

Was closely modeled on the building of the same name in London. Constructed in 1887. The structure , mostly of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, is in the form of the Greek cross.

Outstandingly beautiful. A must in a wonderfully special park .

Increíble lugar, el día que fui el 23 de dic. No había exposición y aun así valió la pena. Los jardines aledaños y el estanque le dan un toque especial

YuYum Hid

Precioso y de una belleza muy especial. Para los fotógrafos , se pueden tomar fotos en su interior sin necesidad de permisos especiales.

Claudia Caballero

Un lugar de los imprescindibles si estás por el retiro. Entrada gratuita , y no suele haber mucha gente. Tiene baño . Las escaleras que tiene en frente junto al agua son geniales para descansar ;)

Andrea Leticia

Lugar lindo! Impossível não imaginar uma festa de gala . Um pouco quente, mas naquela época não existia ar condicionado, rs. Parada certa!!!

Jérémy

Difficile de savoir si c'est des miroirs ou de simples vitres. Sert aussi d'expositions d'art moderne . Attention, le lieu est fermé quand il pleut !

Carlos Falcon de la torre

Imperdible la visita al Palacio de Cristal si están en el Parque del Retiro . Frecuentemente hay exposiciones de arte muy interesante y la vista del estanque que está en frente es preciosa

Rodo Maciel

El lugar mas bonito del Parque del Retiro , adentro del edificio encontrarás exposiciones de arte temporales, su estanque y jardines aledaños son muy tranquilos y bonitos para dar un paseo
