María Luisa Park : info and guided tour

Overview of María Luisa Park

María Luisa Park is Seville’s iconic green space, in Andalusia, close to the historic center. Located around the 41013 Seville area, it offers wide shaded walks, landscaped gardens, and avenues lined with palm trees, fountains, and azulejo benches that are part of its visual identity.

Developed from former gardens linked to the Palace of San Telmo, the park was donated to the city at the end of the 19th century and later transformed into a public park. Its landscape combines romantic influences, monumental layouts, and Mediterranean vegetation, making it one of the most representative examples of early 20th-century urban planning in Seville.

The site is especially famous for hosting the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, of which it still preserves several outstanding landmarks. Visitors can discover Plaza de España and Plaza de América, as well as pavilions, stairways, ponds, and ceramic works that reflect the dialogue between regional architecture and Andalusian decorative art.

Beyond its monuments, the park appeals with its open views, ponds, and themed gardens, offering a peaceful break in the city. It is also a much-loved walking spot for Seville residents, where you can read the history of Seville through its landscaping, sculptures, and ornamental details.
