Parque del Monte de San Pedro

Parque del Monte de San Pedro is a municipal park located on a hilltop in Visma with multiple levels connected by modern panoramic elevators. The grounds include gardens, walking paths, natural rock formations, a water pond, and several viewpoints overlooking the coast.

The location functioned as a military fortress to protect the coast before being transformed into a public space. The park opened to the public in 1999 following its conversion from its defensive role.

The park preserves the military past of A Coruña through underground bunkers and old fortifications that remain visible within the grounds. Visitors can see how the city once defended its coastline through these structures.

The park is accessible via a modern panoramic elevator that connects different levels and makes navigation easier for visitors. Well-marked walking paths throughout the grounds allow people to explore at their own pace.

The park features an English-style maze planted with Italian vegetation, creating an unusual blend of garden styles. This maze section often goes unnoticed by visitors but offers a charming surprise for those who explore thoroughly.
