The Great Sequoia, Historic sequoia in La Florida park, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain.
The sequoia tree reaches 40 meters in height with a trunk circumference of 8 meters, standing within the grounds of La Florida park.
Juan Ibarrondo planted this sequoia in 1860 after obtaining the sapling from Brussels, marking the beginning of its presence in the Basque region.
The Basque Government designated this sequoia as a singular tree in 1995, recognizing its importance to the local community and natural heritage.
Wooden platforms installed around the tree base help maintain soil quality and guide visitors through designated observation points.
Despite its death in 2014 due to honey fungus infection, experts estimate the tree remains will endure for 40 to 60 additional years.
