The Martyres Park was initially the old promenade on the rambla or dry
riverbed of the Cruz, today called the Rambla of Don Diego. The work to
transform the old promenade to the path we have today began in the fifties,
with the planting of elm trees giving it a classical look by adorning it with
columns which look like roman capitols. The fountain was added in 1957. The
park has been subsequently remodelled and in 2009 the original look of the
fountain was recovered by putting in a reproduction of the figure which have
been there since its creation and which was one of the town most emblematic
figures: it is of a naked child kneeling
down and holding two fish in his hands. In 1979 the fountain began to have
problems because the water jets were blocked, because of which, in one of the
renovation sessions, the original sculpture was removed and disappeared. Up
until the present day nobody knows its whereabouts. The reproduction has been
carried out based on an old photograph recovered from the municipal archives.
From the Martyres Park we can enjoy magnificent views of Alhama Castle.
