The Palacio de Cristal, Madrid

The Palacio de Cristal is situated in the Parque del Retiro in Madrid. It was inspired by it's British namesake "The Crystal Palace" in London. It was built in 1887 to exhibit flora and fauna from the Philippines. It is no longer used as a greenhouse as it has now been converted into a gallery which hosts temporary art exhibitions.
