Parque María Cristina, Municipal park in central Algeciras, Spain.

The park extends across 20,683 square meters with intersecting pathways, featuring palms, araucarias, laurels, white acacias, ficus, and cedar trees.

Created in 1834 near Fort Santiago barracks, the park originated as Paseo Cristina to enhance the adjacent land through organized garden planning.

The park contains benches adorned with Sevillian tiles and traditional lampposts transferred from Plaza Alta during the 1930 renovation project.

Four main streets border the park: Calle de Ramón y Cajal, Calle Capitán Ontañón, Avenida de Blas Infante, and Avenida de las Fuerzas Armadas.

The park underwent transformation in 1929 when private gardens were incorporated and an iron fence was installed along sections of its perimeter.
