San Carlos Gardens, Public park in Old Town, A Coruña, Spain.
The gardens contain numerous native and exotic tree species, including two century-old elm trees that stand tall within the landscaped grounds.
Originally built as a fortress in the 18th century, the space was transformed into a garden in 1834 by Governor Francisco de Mazarredo.
The garden houses the tomb of General John Moore, who died in 1809 defending the city against French forces during the Peninsular War.
The garden welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 21:00 between April and October, and from 8:00 to 20:00 from November through March.
