The "Cold Stove" greenhouse in Madrid's Carlos Carlos I Park is a partially enclosed structure that uses passive heating systems to create a microclimate in its interior. Thanks to its orientation and the use of glass panels, natural air conditioning is achieved without energy consumption. There is a botanical collection of 220 species of exotic plants.
Among them was the educational trail. The greenhouse was built in 1996 from concrete and glass on a rectangular plan. The structure is half buried, with a roof and concrete side slats. Its area is 4,000 m2 and the height is 12 m. The main axis is oriented to the west and east.
There are 12 spaces in the greenhouse: a minimalist Japanese garden, a pond, a bamboo zone, a succulent zone, a space for sagovites and palm trees, a space for plants that like acid soil, a citrus zone, a riparian forest, a fern forest, and a zone surrounding the greenhouse dedicated to indigenous, Mediterranean vegetation.
