Ornate Gardens of Buen Retiro Park, Madrid

Sunlight cascades over the meticulously manicured gardens at Buen Retiro Park in Madrid's historic center. Towering topiary trees stand sentinel amidst vibrant flower beds bursting with red, pink, white, and purple blooms. A classical statue oversees this botanical masterpiece from atop an ornate pedestal, while visitors meander along gravel paths under the watchful gaze of autumn-hued deciduous trees against a backdrop of azure skies.
