Parque de Castrelos, Municipal park in Vigo, Spain

The 220,000-square-meter green space includes French and English gardens, walking paths along the Lagares River, and the Quiñones de León Palace Museum.

The park's origins date back to the 13th century when it was called Castrelis, later becoming home to a defensive tower against pirate attacks.

The outdoor amphitheater hosts major summer concerts and performances, attracting national and international artists to perform in front of large audiences.

The park features marked training routes, children's playgrounds, rest areas, parking facilities, and a lake inhabited by swans and ducks.

The 1955 declaration as Historical Garden and Cultural Interest Site recognizes its botanical collection and landscape design combining medieval and baroque elements.
