The Isabel la Cat\u00f3lica Park is located on a previously swampy terrain. In the 1930s, the need to drain the marshes for health reasons and to take advantage of their filling, by dumping slag and demolition materials, to build a park was raised. Total sanitation was not completed until the 1960s. The park is currently included within the Cultural Heritage of Asturias as a historical garden of Asturias and is considered an Asset of Cultural Interest. 65 different plant species have been catalogued, with more than 1200 specimens scattered throughout the garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
