Maria Luisa Park
The Maria Luisa Park is the largest in Sevilla and it is considered as one of the most beautiful green areas in Europe. The Maria Luisa Park dates from 1893 when Duchess of Montpensier, Infanta Maria Luisa de Borbon, gave half of her Palace gardens to the city.
This park was designed by the French landscape gardener Forestier for the Ibero-american Exhibition in 1929. One can find a variety of plants in this park, for example: orange trees, palm trees, elms, Mediterranean pine trees, eucalyptus trees and magnolias.
“La Isleta de los Patos” (The ducks little island) is one of the most visited areas, where one can find swans, ducks, peacocks and other wide variety of birds. There is also a beautiful building called the “Pabellon Mudejar”, which features the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs.
The Plaza of America has a particular characteristic: its pigeons' appetite is difficult to satisfy. For this reason, the park in general is also known as "park pigeons”.
