Pine Park, also known as Island Park, was created in the 19th century as a green lung for the city of Plasencia, with a planting of century-old pine trees that symbolize the natural heritage of Extremadura. It has cultural value because of its integration with the Jerte River and its role in the urban history of the region. More history is available on the official website: Plasencia City Council.
