The Palacio de Cristal is a lovely building. It's a glass
pavilion that sits next to a man-made lake. It too was
designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Velazquez Bosco.
Completed in 1887, the palace was designed to display a beautiful
collection of tropical plants from The Philippines, which at that
time was still a Spanish colony.
