Best Parque De Maria Luisa Maria Luisa Park Tours from Barcelona

The beautiful public park along the Guadalquivir River in Sevilla used to be the gardens of the Palace of San Telmo. Parque de Maria Luisa, or Maria Luisa Park, was donated to the city by Infanta Maria Luisa Fernanda in 1893. Landscape architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier later redesigned the layout in 1911 and three years later architect Anibal Gonzalez started designing buildings in the park for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Points of interest are Fuente de los Leones (Fountain of Lions), Estanque de los Lotos (Water Lily Pool), Mudejar Pavilion and Costurero de la Reina (Queen's Sewing Box).
