Crystal Palace or Palacio de Cristal, Retiro Park, Madrid
Built in 1887, modelled on London's Crystal Palace of the 1850's, it was made almost entirely of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, which is decorated with ceramics. In front of the entrance to the Palace are steps leading down into the large artificial lake of the Retiro Park. The lake contains ducks, geese, black swans and terrapins, who will swim close to the steps, or you can hire boats on the lake for a closer view.
