Fantastic monument. Enjoyed a ride through the park in nice carriage through the park with a great Columbian tour guide that I met at entrance and who took photos for me. I recommend your guide like this if you had only one hour like me. This is the main attraction in the park. I also liked feeding the peacocks nearby with bread and peanuts.

This monument stands in tribute to King Alfonso XII, King of Spain from 1874 to 1885. Having ascended the throne on his mother's abdication at the age of 17. His rule was considered to have been benevolent and sympathetic to his subjects, for example visiting districts ravaged by cholera or devastated by the earthquake of 1885. The statue stands just in front of a semi-circular colonnade and is an equestrian statue of the king, which itself is atop a 30 metre high plinth with the female figures of Peace, Freedom and Progress at the base. A truly magnificent monument and well worth combining with a visit to Parque Retiro.
The Monument to Alfonso XII (Spanish: Monumento a Alfonso XII) is located in Buen Retiro Park (El Retiro), Madrid, Spain. The monument is situated on the east edge of an artificial lake near the center of the park.
The park is great for a lovely stroll or picnic. Large and sprawling, good fresh air for one to shelter from the busy hustle of Madrid city life. Lovely bits of history scattered about as well.
