Taconera, Urban park in Pamplona, Spain.

Taconera is an urban park in Pamplona featuring a variety of tree species including beeches, magnolias, and a tall sequoia alongside laurel and holly plants. The grounds spread across former fortification walls and connect to other green spaces throughout the city via a network of pathways.

The site was built as a defensive fortification in the 17th century to protect the city militarily. In the early 1800s, it was transformed into a French-style garden, establishing Pamplona's first public green spaces.

The park displays various monuments and sculptures created by local artists throughout the decades. Residents and visitors use the grounds for walking, resting, and enjoying the shade of mature trees.

The park is accessible through several entrances and forms part of a network connecting various green spaces throughout the city. The pathways are well-suited for walking, and visitors can find resting spots throughout the grounds.

The former fortification moats were converted into an enclosure where deer, peacocks, and waterfowl roam freely among the historic stone structures. This unexpected wildlife area within the city offers visitors a rare chance to observe animals in an urban setting.
