Plaza Weyler, Central square with marble fountain in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

The public square features a white Carrara marble fountain with three tiers, decorated with cherubs and dolphins that serve as water spouts.

The plaza, named after Lieutenant General Valeriano Weyler, transformed from a military training ground in 1778 to an urban center by 1875.

The square holds the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural, marking its position as a protected cultural asset in Spanish heritage.

Multiple bus routes, tram stops, and taxi stands around the square provide easy access to this central point of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The fountain, designed by Achille Canessa in Genoa, arrived in 1899 after extensive community fundraising efforts through public events.
