At the end of the 19th century, Alejandro Sesmero designed a garden located at the entrance to the Alameda de Pontevedra where exotic and unique species were planted.

[2] Throughout the 20th century, the area of the current Palm Trees Park was subject to continuous changes, both in terms of landscaping and the elements it contained.

In 1924 the wooden circus theatre authorised in 1900 by the town council in front of the Villa Pilar mansion disappeared and the space was turned into a garden.

[4] In the early 1980s, new aviaries for exotic birds such as peacocks and large circular cages for animals such as monkeys were installed in the Vincenti gardens.

It is bounded by the large buildings of Gran Vía de Montero Ríos to the north, by Avenida Reina Victoria-Eugenia to the west, by the provincial branch of the Ministry of Defence to the south and by Marquis of Riestra street to the east, where the Villa Pilar mansion is located.

In the central area there is an alley flanked by tall Canary Island palms that runs in a straight line from General Gutiérrez Mellado Street to Reina Victoria-Eugenia avenue.

[12] At the eastern end of the central alley of the Palms is a granite pool called El Pilón with a round half-rock with irregular holes and water jets inside.

To the south, closing off the garden area, the building that currently houses the provincial office of the Ministry of Defence (former primary school) was built between 1889 and 1892.
