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.

Une verrières superbe à côté d'un petit lac charmant. Malheureusement le bâtiment était vide quand j'y suis allée mais il y a normalement des expositions. A voir!

Magnificent place, former greenhouse, this palace is to be seen at the same time as to visit the Retiro park.
You should not miss here if you are planning a trip to Madrid

It is a place to see, the palace is located in the Retiro park, the setting is superb! The access is free, however there were many people on the day of my visit.
