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.

bel endroit situé dans le parc du Retiro non loin du lac, c'est un bâtiment genre construction métallique baltard avec des structures en verre du plus bel effet, vous ne pouvez le visiter en ce moment (9-2017) car il est en rénovation, sinon l'extérieur est de toute beauté et de plus il est situé au milieu d'un jardin et étang super pour les photos.

très beau bâtiment de verre dans le parc El Retiro, ; pas très bien indiqué quand on vient à pied, mais ça vaut le détour. toute cette transparence au milieu des arbres enchante, c'est léger, aérien. le parc mérite aussi le détour pour se promener, autour du petit lac mais aussi au milieu des arbres, qui apportent de la fraîcheur

Mon coup de coeur en plein parc du Retiro.
Il offre de magnifiques jeux de lumière dès que le soleil est là.

Le retiro étant un endroit à voir à Madrid, el palacio de cristal s'impose lors de cette visite. Même fermé et vide faute d'expo lors de notre passage, il impressionne au milieu de la nature, devant son petit lac...
