Built 1902-1922

The architect was José Grases Riera, whose design consisted of a grand colonnade alongside a pond in El Retiro, with several sculptures surrounding an equestrian statue of the king, with everything constructed in bronze and marble. More than twenty sculptors worked on the project. The monument is 30 meters high, 86 meters long, and 58 meters wide. At its center is the equestrian statue of King Alfonso XII, cast in bronze, which was created by Mariano Benlliure in 1904.

Thousands of people stroll through Retiro Park on the weekend. You can rent a boat and go out on the lake, go sit on the steps of the monument, or have your fortune told by any of the many street vendors around the lake.
