Parque de María Luisa

The Parque de María Luisa is a public park in Seville, Spain, that stretches along the Guadalquivir River. It was formerly the gardens of the Palace of San Telmo and was donated to the city in 1893 by the Infanta Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpensier. The park was redesigned by Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier in 1911 and features a 'Moorish paradisical style' with tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds, benches, and exhedras. The park serves as a botanical garden with many plant species, native and exotic, and is home to many monuments, including the Fountain of Lions and the Water-lily Pool. It is also a popular spot for birdwatching, with a large population of doves, parakeets, ducks, and swans
