In its central part you can see a fountain with a bowl placed on a spiral column of Solomonos. The paths lead from it in four directions, which lead to rose pergolas.
A low boxwood hedge grows along the alleys. A historic gazebo with a dome stands under a red brick wall. The park is located at Plaza de la Paja (Straw Square). Its area is 500 m². It was designed by Nicolas Chalmandrier, referring to the style of Arab gardens fashionable at that time.
