Parque Gasset, Public park in Ciudad Real, Spain
Parque Gasset is a public park in Ciudad Real featuring formal gardens, pathways, and various botanical sections arranged across the grounds. The space includes pergolas, plazas, rose gardens, and ornamental fountains distributed throughout its layout.
The park opened in 1915 on land donated by Juan Manuel Treviño y Aranguren, positioned next to the former railway station of Ciudad Real. This location established it as a significant green space project adjacent to the city's railway infrastructure.
The Talavera Fountain displays traditional ceramic craftsmanship from the Talavera de la Reina region, with decorated tiles and patterns that shape the park's appearance. Visitors can observe this regional artisan tradition throughout the decorative elements.
The grounds offer three marked routes connecting singular trees, monuments, sculptures, and ornamental fountains at varying distances. Visitors can choose which route suits their interests and available time for exploring the park.
The park houses the Cruz de los Casados monument, commemorating a 15th-century romance between two local residents. This personal historical connection gives the space a deeper significance beyond its role as a public garden.
