A Dazzling Fusion of Art, Architecture, and Nature in Madrid's Historic Park

Cristal House, or Palacio de Cristal, is a glass pavilion in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park, built in 1887 and inspired by London's Crystal Palace. This 19th-century iron-and-glass structure was originally for a Philippine Exhibition and now hosts art exhibitions. Its transparency connects visitors to nature, blending beautifully with the park's trees and lake. Managed by the Reina Sofía Museum, it's a landmark known for its architecture and cultural significance in a UNESCO World Heritage site. #europeanarchitecture #100waysoftravel 📍Address: Palacio de Cristal, Parque del Buen Retiro, Madrid, España.
