Palace among the best examples of union between iron and glass, place of the Philippines exhibition in 1887

This palace, designed by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco (the architect who built the Palacio Velázquez), was used as a greenhouse for the Philippine Exhibition in 1887. It showcased the exotic daily life of these Spanish colonies. The Crystal Palace is considered one of the finest examples of the union of iron and glass. It was inspired by Joseph Paxlon's Crystal Palace, built in London in 1851 for the Universal Exhibition. Today, the Crystal Palace presents exhibitions in partnership with the Reina Sofía Museum.

Pas pu entrer mais pas grave
Verrière impressionnante et féerique dans un écrin de verdure. Pour une fois que ce genre d'endroit n'est pas transformé en jardin botanique

Dans une promenade au Retiro, vous serez surpris par le Palacio de Cristal et son petit lac. Des expositions temporaires d'art contemporain s'y tiennent. Dedans, la structure de verre autour est impressionnante.
