The Buen Retiro Park (Spanish: Parque del Buen Retiro, literally "Park of the Pleasant Retreat", or simply El Retiro) is one of the largest parks of the city of Madrid, Spain. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, when it became a public park.
The Buen Retiro Park is a large and popular 1.4 km2 (350 acres) park at the edge of the city center, very close to the Puerta de Alcalá and not far from the Prado Museum. A magnificent park, filled with beautiful sculpture and monuments, galleries, a peaceful lake and host to a variety of events, it is one of Madrid's premier attractions. The park is entirely surrounded by the present-day city.
In 1505, at the time of Isabella I (r. 1474–1504) the Jeronimos monastery was moved from an unsuitable location elsewhere to the present site of San Jeronimo el Real Church, and a new monastery built in Isabelline Gothic style. The royal family had a retreat built as part of the church.
Retiro (Spanish for Retirement) might refer to the following:
Buin-e Olya (Persian: بوئين عليا, also Romanized as Bū'īn-e ‘Olyā; also known as Bīān Darreh, Buen, Bū’īn, Bū’īn-e Bālā, Būyen-e Bālā, and Būyen-e ‘Olyā) is a village in Buin Rural District, Nanur District, Baneh County, Kurdistan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 354, in 62 families. In 2015, Mordechai Gilbert was appointed mayor by the government.
Madrid (/məˈdrɪd/, Spanish: [maˈðɾid], locally: [maˈðɾiθ, -ˈðɾi]) is a south-western European city, the capital of Spain, and the largest municipality of the Community of Madrid. The population of the city is almost 3.2 million with a metropolitan area population of around 6.5 million. It is the third-largest city in the European Union, after London and Berlin, and its metropolitan area is the third-largest in the European Union after London and Paris. The city spans a total of 604.3 km2 (233.3 sq mi).
The city is located on the Manzanares River in the centre of both the country and the Community of Madrid (which comprises the city of Madrid, its conurbation and extended suburbs and villages); this community is bordered by the autonomous communities of Castile and León and Castile-La Mancha. As the capital city of Spain, seat of government, and residence of the Spanish monarch, Madrid is also the political, economic and cultural centre of Spain. The current mayor is Manuela Carmena from Ahora Madrid.
Buen Retiro Palace (Spanish: Palacio del Buen Retiro) in Madrid was a large palace complex designed by the architect Alonso Carbonell (c. 1590–1660) and built on the orders of Philip IV of Spain as a secondary residence and place of recreation (hence its name). It was built in what was then the eastern limits of the city of Madrid. Today what little remains of its buildings and gardens forms the Retiro Park.
Philip IV used to stay occasionally in some rooms annexed to the monastery of San Jerónimo el Real (close to the current location of the Prado Museum, which received the name of the Royal Quarters. The reason for these frequent visits could be that the so-called Planet King particularly enjoyed walking in the attached farm, property of the Count-Duke of Olivares, his royal favourite and minister.
Olivares, with the intention of pleasing the monarch, planned in 1629 and started in 1630 the construction of a series of offices and pavilions as an extension of the Royal Quarters, which ended up forming the Buen Retiro Palace. The building of the palace was not something planned from the start, but occurred over a period of seven years (until 1640 during which further additions were built successively). Once finished, the palace consisted of more than 20 buildings and two large open squares used for court entertainments and various other acts. The palace complex was surrounded by a large expanse of gardens and ponds, giving it a playful character.

Se ha considerado que el espacio que comprende el que inicialmente fue el recinto del “Real Sitio del Buen Retiro” contiene los valores universales excepcionales que la UNESCO puede tener en cuenta para que Madrid forme parte del Patrimonio Mundial. Esta elección se inscribe en lo que puede considerarse como paisaje urbano y cultural evolutivo. Felipe IV delimita un gran espacio, más allá de los límites orientales de la ciudad, que va a albergar un conjunto palacial y unos extensos jardines bajo el nombre del “Real Sitio del Buen Retiro”. Carlos III, bajo el influjo de La Ilustración, va a ser el impulsor, justamente en el borde que separa la ciudad de este Real Sitio, del denominado Paseo del Prado, que se va a formar por un conjunto de actuaciones urbanísticas y arquitectónicas que con...

El Casón del Buen Retiro de Madrid abre sus puertas para que podamos contemplar, entre otras obras, la bóveda de Luca Giordano restaurada. El Museo del Prado celebra la reciente reforma con una exposición y jornadas de puertas abiertas, sólo hasta el 4 de mayo. Giordano fue un rápido pintor que buscaba hacerse rico, y lo consiguió; que quiso hacerse pasar por Rivera, y lo consiguió; y que se atrevió a firmar alguna de sus obras como Rafael. Más detalles de este maestro de la pintura, en la exposición.

Madrid, Spain's central capital, is a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks such as the Buen Retiro. It’s renowned for its rich repositories of European art, including the Prado Museum’s works by Goya, Velázquez and other Spanish masters. The heart of old Hapsburg Madrid is the portico-lined Plaza Mayor, and nearby is the baroque Royal Palace and Armory, displaying historic weaponry.
