Palacio de Velázquez Grand palace in Retiro park

Paseo Duque de Fernán Núñez, s/n Parque del Retiro Madrid, Madrid 28014 +34 91 573 6245

This palace was originally built as a pavilion for the Mining Exhibition of 1883 and it's now used as an exhibition hall for contemporary art organized by the Museo Reina Sofia. It's located in front of the famous Artichoke Fountain in Retiro Park. The exterior is a marvellous display of two-tone brickwork and tiles around a metal frame crowned by a dome. The palace is named after the architect who designed and built it, Velázquez Bosco. Admission is free. Review © 2009, Wcities
