 Established at Buen Retiro in 1790. When the French occupied 

 Madrid in 3808, they set up a battery at that place and the instruments 

 were destroyed by a fire. The Observatory then abandoned was not 

 restored until 1S4C. In 1852 the grounds were enlarged, and a pavilion 

 with a revolving turret was erected.
