The Baroque arch Melchor de Bueras raised in 1680 on the carrera de San Jerónimo for Queen Marie Louise of Orléans's entry, paid for by the city, and used again in 1690 for Mariana of Neuburg's. It was moved in 1857 and, in 1922, to its present place. It is one of the entrances to the Retiro, opposite the Casón.
