Behnd the place of Espana, a very large park, for walking, with very old threes, gloriets of all kinds that rerminds the old ages of past centuries. A lot of fontains, shurbs.... romantic.
Really, I found it sickening the quantity of pigeons in the park. You could hardly understand the person beside you. I really found that a pity because the park is a real green treat especially when it is hot in the summer but when I would have been there in summer I preferred rather an air conditioned room then to sit amongst all these screaming pigeons.
玛丽亚路易莎公园(Parque de Maria Luisa)玛丽亚路易莎公园是塞维利亚最大的公园,占地40多万平方米。它的前身是一座浪漫派风格的花园,由路易莎•德•奥尔良公主捐赠,1929年为拉丁美洲博览会而改建,在公园东面修建了西班牙广场(又一个西班牙广场哈)。公园满是热带风情,很多地方看似随意,但是植物的布局都是精心规划过的,很漂亮。有些地方也还能看出阿拉伯人占领西班牙的痕迹,一些喷泉和建筑什么的。因为是周六,所以公园很多人,相对于国外的人口密度来说。朋友聚在一起,或者家长带着小孩子,都是一副悠闲放松的样子。公园里有能看到各种交通设备,自行车,自行车后面的婴儿车,马车,四轮车……公园的南端是为拉丁美洲博览会而兴建的三座建筑,分别代表着西班牙三种杰出的建筑风格:新歌特风格、穆德哈尔风格和银匠风格。现在分别是塞维利亚省立考古博物馆和民俗博物馆。时间来不及了,都没有进去。
Huge trees, ponds, fountains, statues & monuments, right next to the Plaza de Espana and extending over many acres. Not much was blooming when we were there, but we could definitely feel the cooling effect of the shade cover. Would love to return and explore it more fully!
Thanks to a donation from Princess Maria Luisa, Sevilla got a huge park in the centre of the city in 1914. The park is huge (38 hectares). The biological diversity includes thousands of palm trees and other trees. It also consists of an impressive number of fountains and springs. This oasis is an indispensable breathing space for the people of Sevilla and for tourists – especially when the summer is hot. A stroll in the park is ideal to combine with a visit to Plaza de España.
You can't go wrong with this park. Depending which way you walk through the lush gardens, you end up either at the Plaza de España or the Plaza de las Américas, which hosts three museums, of which I only got to see one, the underrated Archeological Museum. So while for me the park was more means to an end, I can certainly understand why you might want to spend an hour or two here.
We did a quick tour of the park as part of our orientation tour. This was just one of the stops which also included the Macarena District, the tobacco factory portrayed in the story of Carmen, and Murillo Gardens.
The first thing I do when visit a new city is ask for parks, gardens to go. After visiting a lot of different parks, I can say this is one of the best. It was bulit for the first EXPO held in Seville In 1929, before that it was the gardens of a Queen's sister. There are beautiful tiles all way around and two great museums inside. Wonderful fountains and silent only interrupted by birds. This is one of my favourite place in the city
Pleasant large green park. Some of the tiling and statuettes were a bit damaged which was a pity. It is no Park Guell !
In the middle of a great town like Seville, there's a great garden where you can enjoy the nature, the fresh air and beautiful trees and gardens. A place where you can run, ride a bike or simply rest from a work or touristic day.
