Monte de San Pedro is a former military defense site in A Coruña converted into a 78,000-square-meter landscaped park. The park features a distinctive glass spherical panoramic elevator that transports visitors from the lower coastal level to the summit. It contains two large Vickers anti-ship cannons that were installed in the 1920s to guard the entrance to the bay. The site hosts an English-style maze made of over 3,000 laurel trees. Large grassy slopes offer unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and the city's coastline. Several abandoned military bunkers are integrated into the grounds. There is an onsite restaurant housed in a building with a large glass dome. The terrain includes a duck pond and various sculptures by contemporary Galician artists.
