Parc de la Devesa

The Devesa Park spans 40 hectares between the rivers Ter, Onyar, and Güell, featuring over 2,500 trees planted in systematic rows.

In 1423, Queen Maria Victoria donated the land to Girona, initially serving as flood protection and generating income to compensate for water damage.

The park functions as a central venue for the Sant Narcis Festivals, incorporating sports facilities, an auditorium, and a congress palace for city events.

Multiple walking paths cross through the park grounds, connecting various recreational areas with sports fields, an equestrian center, and rest zones.

The park contains hybrid plane trees reaching heights of 60 meters, making them among the tallest of their species in an urban setting.
