Abstract

In the Seventeenth Century, Philip IV ordered the setting out of the Buen Retiro, as a place for the use of the royal family, who had the run there of a palace, gardens, ornamental ponds, etc., and a variety of entertainments. In the Eighteenth Century, Charles III buildt a Cemetery and the Royal Porcelain Factory, this last being destroyed by English troops at the beginning of the Nineteenth Century. During this Century, the Buen Retiro was totally destroyed by French troops and Ferdinand VII had to lay it out again and embellish it, with new gardens and small buildings, called "Caprichos" (such as the Helter-Skelter, the Fisher's House, etc.) andeven a little Zoo. His successor, Elizabeth II also improved the Buen Retiro but then sold a third part of its original extension to the State. In 1868, the Buen Retiro was turned into and important Municipal Park.
