Alameda of Pontevedra, Urban park in central Pontevedra, Spain
The Alameda spans 2.1 hectares with five wide tree-lined alleys and a linear promenade at an elevation of 18 meters above sea level.
Architect Alejandro Sesmero transformed the former Field of Truth and Dominican convent orchard into the current park design in 1879.
The bandstand completed in 1904 functions as a central performance space, featuring stone base construction with iron and glass roofing elements.
The park connects to Gran Vía de Montero Ríos through stone staircases and maintains multiple paths suitable for walking among poplars and oak trees.
Carlos Sobrino created detailed mosaics on the circular walls depicting local architectural scenes and traditions, restored in 2010.
