This garden was donated by the Princess María Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpellier, to the city of Seville in 1893. They were created as result of the gardens of the Palace of St Telmo that were donated to the city in 1893. Its redesign was carried out by the French engineer Forestier, on the occasion of the Spanish- American Exhibition in 1929.
He respected the original design of the former gardens of the Princess. The avenues cross in bowers with fountains and statues that make the park to become a museum in the open air. The central point of the Parque de María Luisa is the Monte Gurugú (Gurugú hill). This space consists of the Fuente de los Leones (Fountain of lions) of Renaissance and Arab- Andalusian influences; the Isleta de los Patos (Ducks island) which is a pond skirted by rustic stone with a central island and an exotic pavilion; and the Estanque de los Lotos (Pond of Lotus).
The group is completed with the Plaza de España and the Plaza de América, the last one is surrounded by rosebushes and palm trees. The vegetation of this beautiful park consists of groves, elms and acacias, as well as beautiful hedges formed by myrtles and rose gardens. The ornamentation of its gardens should be highlighted. It consists of 16 statues of Victories, columns, staircases, etc. The small squares of Gustavo Adolfo Béquer, the Quintero´ s Brothers and the Princess María Luisa are very famous.

This Cathedral was built to cover the land previously occupied by an Almohad Mosque in the XII Century.
From this Mosque, only its minaret, the Giralda, has arrived to our days.
The Construction started in 1401 and took almost a century. It is a Gothic temple in which architects tried to mix austerity with severity. It was converted to the Christian religion, after Fernando III´ s conquest in 1248.
During its construction, it passed through, Mudejar, Gothic, Renaissance, Barroque and Neoclassic Periods.
The tower is actually the old minaret of the Almohad Mosque of Seville, from the XII Century. It is 97.5 meters high and it was subsequently transformed into a Renaissance bell- tower.
It supposed a harmony miracle, due to the architecture of two different cultures that are separated by four Centuries, the Renaissance and the Almohad Culture, were mixed in this building.
The Alcazar is a monumental complex that comes from the Muslim period. It consists of a series of palaces from different times and styles that is why they are called Royal Alcazars. Its gardens, halls, courtyards, orchards and rooms decorated with glazed tile from Seville are important.
Its rooms are related to kings such as Al-Mutamid, Fernando III of Castilla, Alfonso X, Pedro I el Cruel or the Catholic Kings. It was the temporary residence of the Kings of Spain.
It is located in the Casa de la Lonja de Sevilla, a place chosen by Carlos III in 1785 in order to locate the Archivo de Indias. It is born with the aim of centralizing in only one place the documents related to the Spanish colonies that until then were in different archives: Simancas, Cádiz and Seville.
It is a square floor building, with two floors and a large central courtyard with a marvellous decoration. In the XVII the second floor and the Cruz del Juramento (Oarth Cross) were built. Nowadays, it is the main existing archive related to the activity of Spain in America and the Philippines, containing information about the Political History and the Social History, the Economic History and the mentalities, History of Church and Art History or the geography of those territories.
The archive keeps pieces of incalculable historical value such as autographs of the main characters of the Discovering, Colon´ s diary, plans of the main American cities, etc.
