Jardines del Descubrimiento, Public park in city center, Madrid, Spain.
The park spans 1.87 hectares with pine trees, olive trees, and cedar trees arranged in geometric patterns across triangular sectors.
The park occupies the former location of the Spanish Royal Mint building, which authorities demolished in 1970 to create this green space.
The Discovery of America Monument, created by Joaquín Vaquero Turcios in 1977, displays concrete reliefs depicting historical maritime exploration events.
The gardens sit above an underground complex housing both the Fernán Gómez Theatre and a public parking facility for visitors.
The park features Spain's largest national flag, measuring 294 square meters, mounted on a 50-meter rotating mast that adjusts to wind direction.
