Retiro Park is one of the most important and historical parks in the city. It is in the middle of the town. There is the garden of the monastery of "Jeronimos". In this park you can see the Army Museum that now is outside this area. The park has got a great diversity of sculptures. We can stop to watch the monument "El angel caido".
The Conde Duque of Olivares created the whole park Buen Retiro. In the gardens there are works of the architect Herrero Palacios.
The pond is the centerpiece of the park and you can practice or hire a rowing boat.
The Retiro is the most important historical park of the city. There are trees including the chestnust, cherry trees, bananas, birch, and olive trees. There are also important buildings, "The Crystal Palace", where you can see some exhibitions.
In the eighteenth century people were allowed to enter in the summer and autum. Men have to enter discovered, cascada dressed and well combed. They couldn't carry a hat. Women couldn't bring a mantilla or a scarf.
