Parque de La Media Luna, Public park in Pamplona, Spain.
Parque de La Media Luna is a park with a crescent shape in the Second Ensanche district, following natural slopes across roughly 67,000 square meters. It contains multiple walking paths, a pond with fish, a skating rink, and many benches placed throughout its green areas.
The park was designed by architect Victor Eusa in 1935, built on the site of former threshing grounds at one of Pamplona's oldest edges. This transformation of an earlier work area reflects the city's expansion during the early 20th century.
The park holds a monument honoring violinist Pablo Sarasate, who was born in Pamplona, and features sculptures of King Sancho El Mayor and physician Juan Huarte. These memorials sit among the green spaces and celebrate figures important to the city's history and culture.
The park sits on elevated ground, which means some slopes when walking but also offers good views of the surroundings. It is best explored on foot, with many paths and areas that take time to see.
From its elevated location, the park frames views of the Arga River, the Magdalena gardens, and the city cathedral between its pergolas and fountains. These sightlines make it an overlooked vantage point for seeing Pamplona's main landmarks.
