Quinta de la Fuente del Berro Park, Public park in Salamanca district, Madrid, Spain.
Quinta de la Fuente del Berro Park is a landscaped garden in the Salamanca district featuring natural slopes, winding paths, stone steps, and multiple ponds and cascades integrated into the terrain. The design creates a network of routes that guide visitors through different sections of the grounds.
The site originated in the 1600s when King Felipe IV acquired the estate and developed it with gardens, fruit orchards, farmland, vineyards, and tree plantations. This royal establishment shaped the foundation for the verdant park that exists today.
The park features memorials to renowned poets and writers, including a bust honoring Spanish Romantic poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and another dedicated to Russian author Alexander Pushkin. These monuments reflect the place's connection to international literary tradition.
The park is open daily with early morning hours, offering extended access during warmer months compared to cooler seasons. Multiple entrances located around the perimeter allow easy access from different parts of the neighborhood.
The grounds hold rare tree species including a juniper and several Atlas cedars that stand out among Madrid's plantings. A large Ginkgo tree is another botanical rarity found among the park's vegetation.
