Jardines de Cecilio Rodríguez, Classical garden in Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain
The Jardines de Cecilio Rodriguez features symmetrical paths, ornamental pools, ceramic decorations, and fountains arranged in geometric patterns throughout the space.
In 1918, municipal gardener Cecilio Rodriguez transformed the former Casa de Fieras area into these gardens, incorporating Italian design principles and local elements.
The gardens form part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, representing Madrid's commitment to urban green spaces.
The garden entrance lies on the northern side near the Gaviota Fountain, with multiple benches and shaded areas for visitors throughout the year.
Peacocks roam freely through the gardens, walking among the four symmetrical pools and the modern pavilion used for municipal events.
