Plaza de España (Santa Cruz de Tenerife)

In the centre of the square stands Monumento a los Caídos (a tribute to the fallen in the Spanish Civil War).

[1] The location of the square was originally the site of the San Cristóbal Castle,[1] which was the city's main line of defense, responsible for defending the port.

[1] A large sign of the tourist brand of the city (introduced in September 2016) is located at one end of the plaza, adjacent to the lake.

It is a piece of stainless steel, five meters high and 450 kilos in weight with the appearance of a man in the shape of a tree that symbolizes "the optimism of the human being, who, despite all his thoughts, takes it well".

In 2021 it was donated to the Santa Cruz town hall and was permanently installed in the Plaza de España.
