A royal oasis in the heart of Madrid
Just a 5-minute walk from Corner28, the Parque de la Quinta de la Fuente del Berro is one of the best-kept secrets of Madrid's Salamanca district. This historic garden, with origins dating back to 1630, was commissioned by none other than King Philip IV as part of a royal residence.
What began as an estate belonging to the Duke of Frías — with abundant orchards irrigated by the Berro spring — has been transformed over the centuries into a splendid landscaped garden that you can freely enjoy today.
What you'll find in the park
Century-old trees and lush vegetation
The park is home to some of Madrid's oldest tree specimens. Walking among its cedars, plane trees, and magnolias is an experience that transports you to another era. The vegetation is abundant and varied, creating perfect shady spots for reading, meditating, or simply resting.
Sculptures and monuments
Scattered throughout the park, you'll find statues and monuments that enrich your walk. Every path leads to a new discovery: from busts of historical figures to contemporary sculptures integrated into the landscape.
Summerhouses, pavilions, and winding paths
The park's design preserves the aesthetic of a late 19th / early 20th-century garden. The summerhouses and pavilions offer shelter and spectacular photo opportunities. The winding paths invite you to wander without hurry.
The Berro spring
The element that gives the park its name: the Berro spring, whose waters originally irrigated the royal orchards. Although the surroundings have changed, water remains the protagonist of this charming corner.
