Campo del Moro park. The idea to make a beautiful flower garden in this place came from the Spanish Empress Maria Cristina. The garden is decorated in English style, in the middle of the 19th century. Back in 1931, the garden was declared a historical and artistic monument due to its beauty, history and culture. In this beautiful garden overlooking Madrid, you can see white statues, beautiful flowers and trees, romantic gardens, peacocks, fountains, and the Royal Palace stands in the background like a crown. The garden is very well maintained, the paths are arranged, there are benches where you can relax, as well as a free public toilet.
Kings and emperors gladly walked through this beautiful garden with their better halves. It is the same today, but today the whole world walks, whoever wants and nobody has to pay to enter this garden and enjoy it.
The garden is most beautiful during spring, summer and autumn, and is open for visits all year round, and is located near the Royal Palace. This is a peaceful oasis, where you will feel like a king and queen. It was named after a historical episode from 1109, when Muslim leader Ali Ben Yusuf tried to reconquer Madrid after the death of King Alfonso VI, by attacking a fortress from a hill near the river. He and his troops hid in today’s gardens. It is a popular place where newlyweds like to be photographed.
