Parque del Centenario, Public park in Algeciras, Spain.

The recreational area extends across 100,000 square meters near the beaches of San Garcia and Chinarral in southern Spain.

The park stands on the former location of Fuerte de San Garcia, which British forces demolished in 1811 during the Spanish independence conflict.

The Port Authority of Algeciras Bay and City Hall collaborated to establish this green space as a commemorative site for the 1907 Algeciras Conference.

The park opened its gates to visitors on December 13, 2007, providing residents with an expansive recreational space near residential villa developments.

The site incorporates elements from both modern urban planning and historical fortification structures, connecting past and present through its design.
