This was and still is the largest city park. It was built on a hill below and around the Hydrographic Institute with Astronomical Observatory with two domes, one of which was destroyed during World War II air raids.
The park was systematically and carefully planted over a period of ten years on an area of some 29,000 m2, with only one tenth covered by paths. The composition of the park is symmetrical and the main axis even today is the line connecting the Astronomical Observatory - stairs - fountain - stairs - fountain. The number of planted species was neither great in the past, nor is it today, and consists of mostly Mediterranean species: cypress, pine, cedar, privet, laurel, oleander, hawthorn, etc.
It is a great place to rest during hot summer days and you can also spot some squirrels.
Cache is located near lower fountain.
