An octagonal pond of the Buen Retiro from the first half of the 17th century, later than 1633, though its exact date is unknown. Its small temple was lost in the Peninsular War, and the Chinese-style ornament Isidro González Velázquez added was blown down by the tornado of 1886. It was excavated and restored in 2010.
