Built in the 1770s, this is one of the old gates into the city. Named as it led to the town of Alcala. Now sits in the middle of a busy roundabout on the corner of the Retiro Park. Full review by SallyF906

This is a roundabout so you’re not likely to hang around here admiring the views for long. That said if you’re passing by when heading to the park it’s a nice view for a few minutes while walking. Full review by issueskid

An interesting architectural landmark in the center of a roundabout near the entrance to Parque de El Retiro. It’s worth seeing and makes a good backdrop for photos. Full review by ERFSU82
