Seville’s green lung.
An enchanting botanical garden located in the south of Seville’s historic center, along the Guadalquivir River, the Parque de Maria Luisa is perfect for individuals seeking a refreshing, peaceful sanctuary away from the the hustle and bustle of city life.
Originally the private gardens of the Palace of San Telmo, it was donated to the city of Seville in 1893 to be used as a public park. Today, it offers visitors a wide variety of leisure and artistic opportunities - take a leisurely stroll through vibrant rows of flowers, impressive sculptures, and historic monuments, or visit two of the city’s main museums – the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions. Highlights include the Isleta de los Patos (Ducks’ Little Island), Costurero de la Reina (Queen’s sewing box), Seville Public Library, and the spectacular Fountain of the Lions.
