Manzanares Linear Park, Linear park along the Manzanares River in Madrid, Spain.

The Manzanares Linear Park follows the Manzanares River for 15 kilometres south of Madrid, from the Casa de Campo to Getafe. Its finished northern section, designed by Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura and inaugurated on 29 April 2003, holds the Plaza Verde wooden amphitheatre, the Paseo de los Sentidos planted with palms, oaks, cork oaks and olives, and the Atalaya, a pyramid-like structure topped by Manolo Valdés's 13-metre sculpture of a woman's head looking toward the city.

Construction began in late 2000 and was completed in 2003 under the architectural direction of Ricardo Bofill, transforming former industrial wasteland and landfill areas into accessible green public spaces for Madrid residents.

The 13-metre sculpture crowning La Atalaya represents the head of a woman looking toward the city; it is by Manolo Valdés. The park also holds the Plaza Verde, a wooden amphitheatre, and the Paseo de los Sentidos, a riverside walk planted with palms, oaks, cork oaks and olives.

The park stretches 15 km along the Manzanares between the Casa de Campo and Getafe, split into three sections; only the northern Tramo 1, from the M-30 to the M-40, is urbanised and maintained, with the Green Square, the Alley of Senses and the rowing canal. Tramo 2, about 250 hectares of orchards and farmland, and the Regional Park section towards the Jarama are largely unbuilt, with paths in poor condition and almost impassable in places.

La Atalaya artificial mountain was constructed from construction debris and waste materials, creating an elevated viewpoint that offers panoramic views of Madrid while symbolically representing urban regeneration and environmental restoration.
