This is the most famous monument of the Retiro Park, the oasis of Madrid. It is located in front of the dam, where it is popular to take a boat trip, and was built at the beginning of the 20th century. With 30 metres high, the equitable statue of the King is the most prominent part. The statues of La Paz, Progress and Liberty, as well as two lions and other bronze sculptures are below.It is common to find people sitting chatting and artists playing guitar, so do not lose the opportunity to join them and rest for a intense day by Madrid.

    The building of Alfonso XII was very spectacular early, although I didn't know much about this character, but this is also a little bit in our itinerary. The traffic here is very convenient, it is especially convenient to come from other attractions.

    Located on the edge of the artificial lake, Alfonso XII attracted many tourists to check in. This is a very important historical figure for the Spaniard. The whole surrounding buildings are basically centered on this.

    Not only are there many tourists, but it is also a good place for Madrid citizens to enjoy their time. There is a man-made lake. The magnificent statue on the East Bank of the lake is Alfonso's 12th century monument. The two groups of statues are the army image carved by Jos Montserrat (north side) and the Navy image carved by Mateo Inurrria (south side). It's also great to sit and watch the boating on the lake.

    The statue next to the artificial lake is a monument to King Alfonso XII, built in 1922 to commemorate the king who laid the current Spanish political party system through the 1876 constitution.
