In the heart of El Retiro Park, Madrid, you see a great iron and glass structure; Palacio de Cristal (Crystal Palace).
Built only in 5 months in the late 1800s, it is considered Spain’s best examples of architecture in iron and glass.
While I was there in September 2008, it was closed for renovation; however I got to take some amazing pictures of it from the outside.
Here is one, showing as well the small lake inhabited by ducks, grey lag geese, and black swans.
