Situated behind the Prado museum, it is the most popular and widely visited park in Madrid. The Retiro was originally built for the Spanish king Phillip IV and was opened to the general public in the 1800's. Among the park's numerous statues, there is one to the 'Angel Caido' - said to be the only statue in the world dedicated to a fallen angel.
