Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, a landscape of Arts and Sciences
Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, a landscape of Arts and Sciences, Cultural landscape in central Madrid, Spain.
The 200-hectare urban space includes the Paseo del Prado boulevard, El Retiro Park, Los Jerónimos district, and the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid.
The area emerged in the 16th century as Europe's first tree-lined urban promenade and underwent major transformations during King Charles III's 18th-century urban renovation program.
The landscape contains three major art museums: Prado Museum, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and Reina Sofia Museum, forming Madrid's renowned Museum Triangle.
Multiple metro stations, including Retiro, Banco de España, and Atocha, provide direct access to different sections of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Paseo del Prado served as a model for urban planning across Latin America, influencing the development of tree-lined avenues in numerous colonial cities.
