Doramas Park

Doramas Park, with its lush gardens, fountains and ponds, offers an oasis of tranquility and beauty in the middle of the city. In it we find a rich vegetation, with centennial palm trees rooted in this place since the times when it was a private garden, created by the English around the Hotel Santa Catalina.

Located in Ciudad Jardín, the park comprises a wide extension that is divided into three areas. The first runs from León y Castillo Street, where the Atis Tirma sculpture is located, to the hotel. The central area includes the Pueblo Canario and the gardens behind the hotel, where there is the main pond – with ducks, swans and koi carp – and an amphitheater, the José Antonio Ramos Auditorium, which hosts concerts and other cultural activities.

Crossing the street Pío XII we arrive at the Rubió gardens, in whose green mantle stands out the sculpture Planeta Ella, by the Canarian artist Carmela García. The park climbs up a mountain to the Altavista viewpoint. At the foot of the mountain is the monument to León y Castillo, the work of Mariano Benlliure.

Miguel Martín-Fernández de la Torre designed Doramas Park in the 1950s, commissioned by the City Hall, which had bought the garden and the hotel from the English. The Canarian architect was assisted by Nicolau Maria Rubió i Tudurí, an architect and landscape designer from Menorca.
