Plaza de España, Melilla, Central park in Plaza de España, Melilla.

The Hernandez Park spans 4.2 hectares within Plaza de España, featuring a central fountain and multiple pedestrian pathways through green spaces.

The park emerged in 1872 when workers filled the former Río de Oro riverbed with soil extracted during the construction of a new watercourse.

The park received designation as a Historic Garden and Cultural Interest Site, maintaining its status as the primary recreational space in Melilla.

The Department of Environment and Nature manages the park, which connects the modern section of Melilla with its historical fortress area.

A temple stood at the center until 1945, when it was replaced by a water fountain that remained until the early 1950s.
