Parque Espana is located facing the Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; in its center stands the statue of Sebastian de Benalcazar, the founder of San Francisco de Quito
In the Parque de la Armada lies the Calderon, a gunboat which played an outstanding role in the naval battle of Jambeli in 1941 and which now contains a historical museum.
Also nearby are the Centro Civico Theater, the planetarium of the Navy.
