The name of the Campo del Moro in Spanish means "field of the Moor." This name is required to park with the fact that in the early 12th century in its place stood a Moorish army troops under the command of Ali Ben Youssef. After the reconquest of Madrid Christians here was built the building of the Royal Palace. In 1844 the architect Narciso Pascual Colomer-and-project created a magnificent park, adjacent to the palace. Construction of the park was carried out under the direction of Ramon Oliva, who has made certain changes in the original plan conceived.
Campo del Moro is rectangular in shape and surrounded by a wall of white stone and brick. Entrance to the park is through wrought iron gates. One of the most picturesque central avenues of the park, flanked by rows of trees, runs through the magnificent Triton Fountain, created from marble in Italy in the 17th, or even in the late 16th century. The park is home to many birds - pheasants, peacocks, pigeons.
