The María Luisa Park is the first urban park in Seville and one of the important green centers of the city as well as one of its most photographic and visual natural spaces. Originally, it belonged to the private gardens of the Infanta María Luisa Fernanda, Duchess of Montpensier, who donated it to the city of Seville in 1914, also related to King Alfonso XII. Some years later it would become an Asset of Cultural Interest in the category of Historical Garden serving a French landscaper.
