Eulogio Rosado Park

Parque Eulogio Rosado, a small haven in the commercial heart of Mérida

Parque Eulogio Rosado is a small space nestled in the heart of the commercial centre of Mérida. Created at the end of the nineteenth century, it offers a green break in the midst of the bustle. The Mérida audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this discreet but history-laden park, a stone's throw from the great markets.

A park inaugurated in 1884

Created in the 1880s and inaugurated in 1884, Parque Eulogio Rosado occupies a central location in the commercial district of Mérida. In its heart stands a statue of classical inspiration, inherited from the era's taste for ancient references. Often little known, this small park nonetheless testifies to the urban development of the late nineteenth century and offers a landmark in the midst of the shops.

What to see

The park offers benches, a little greenery and its central statue, in an area enlivened by the neighbouring shops and markets. It is a practical stop to catch your breath between two visits, near the Lucas de Gálvez market. Modest but pleasant, it reveals a more everyday and authentic aspect of central Mérida.
