    The garden is one of the most unique green spaces in the city, in the Old City. It is a "hortus conclusus" created around the tomb of General Sir John Moore, hero of the battle of Elviña against the French and who died in 1809.

      The San Carlos Garden was built as a defensive castle outside the walls in the 14th century and would be joined to the city in the 16th. Little by little it lost importance as a bastion or "Old Fortress" and, after the powder keg it contained exploded, it was abandoned until, in the 18th century, it was recovered as a garden by Carlos F. de Croix.
