The sculpture park was developed for the Art and Nature Biennial of Rincon de Ademuz, since 2001. Sculptures are on loan for two years by the artists, and are replaced by new work by other artists, unless some of the sculptures have been purchased by participating villages or patrons. Each village provides one juror each to judge the entries.

The geographical area that the sculpture park covers stretches across the region, clustered in or near the villages of the Rincon and along the trekking routes of the Rincon de Ademuz.
