Retiro Park

Hello people!

Today Desigmadrid would like to introduce all of you the following tourist attraction in Madrid. We are talking about the Retiro Park. The Retiro park is part of the city’s historical heritage and botanical patrimony inherited from past centuries. Once it was a recreation area for the Royal Family and nowadays it has become a very popular park.

Throughout its history, the park has boasted a number of whimsical structures whose existence was solely for the amusement of the passerby. Such was the purpose of the Casa de Vacas, built in 1874 as a cowshed and milking shed for both commoners, nobility and kings, to come and see the cows as well as to enjoy a recently milked glass of milk. A fire destroyed the original building, which was rebuilt by the town hall and dedicated today to exhibiting art shows.

Moreover as in any self respecting park the Retiro has its share of beautifully designed fountains. This Madrid park is home to the only monument to the devil that exists in the whole world. Set amidst the waters of the Fountain of the Fallen Angel it represents the moment when Lucipher is expulsed from Paradise, a work of art that was the creative brainchild of Rocardo Bellver.

Desigmadrid recommend this park if you are going to visit Madrid as we believe it is a symbol for the city. Don’t miss the chance and also visit our site if you are looking for cheap accommodation in Madrid, we have nice apartments with good prices and well located.
