Greenhouse and botanical gardens with an area of 7100 square metres, located inside the former municipal slaughterhouse in the district of Arganzuela, built by architect Luis Bellido y González between 1908 and 1928.
In 1992 it was restored and regenerated for use as a greenhouse, taking its inspiration from the nineteenth century greenhouses to be found in parks in many cities across Europe such as Vienna and London, representative examples of 19th century Cast-Iron Architecture.
The greenhouse is distributed in a central stage and four enclosed spaces that represent different microclimates, housing four different kinds of plants: two tropical, one subtropical and one desert. It also has sheets of water, fountains, estuaries and aquariums populated with fish from different habitat
