Quinta de Torre Arias

PLEASE NOTE: El Retiro and eight of the city’s other parks (El Capricho, Sabatini Gardens, the Rose Garden in Oeste Park, Juan Carlos I, Juan Pablo II, Quinta de Fuente del Berro, Quinta de los Molinos and Quinta Torre Arias) may close if weather conditions are severe. On these occasions you are also advised not to visit Dehesa de la Villa and Oeste Park which have no gates and cannot be closed to the public.

The Torre Arias estate has a surface area of 17 hectares of which its impressive gardens stand out, where up to 51 different species of trees can be found, some of which are exceptional, such as a 300-year-old holm oak, some almond trees and pine trees and a large number of cedars. It has belonged to the Madrid aristocracy since 1600 until the present day. Its last owner, Tatiana Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno, and her husband signed a covenant on 15th July 1986 in which she donated the estate to Madrid City Council. On her death, the whole estate therefore became municipal property and it opened its gates to residents of Madrid and visitors at the end of November 2016.

The palace that stands in the grounds will remain closed and cannot be visited due to its structural conditions.
