Casita del Pescador, Neoclassical pavilion in El Retiro Park, Spain.
The Casita del Pescador presents a rosy facade with Pompeian-style paintings and decorative niches that formerly contained Roman busts in El Retiro Park.
Architect Isidro González Velázquez designed this small building in 1817 during the reconstruction period of El Retiro Park following the War of Independence.
The structure stands as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, representing Madrid's architectural and natural heritage.
The Casita del Pescador undergoes transformation into a Municipal Pet Adoption Center, offering new functions to this historical structure within the park grounds.
This pavilion served as a private fishing retreat for King Ferdinand VII, allowing the monarch to escape formal court life in a natural setting.
