Venue Overview
The Murillo Gardens located next to the Paseo de Catalina de Ribera, are made up of small arbours with fountains shaping the space, where bricks and ceramics are, together with the amazing and marvellous vegetation, the real attractions of this centrally-located Sevillian venue.
The Murillo Gardens, previously known as the Retiro Gardens or Orchards, belonged to the Reales Alcázares of Seville until in 1862. They were donated to the city to be integrated in the Seville Fair which was then held in the nearby Prado de San Sebastián.
The Gardens, as we know them today, were designed in 1915 by Juan Talavera. In 1918, at the request of the El Liberal newspaper editor, they were named Murillo Gardens since the painter was buried in the church there was in the nearby Plaza de Santa Cruz.
Magnolia and orange trees, ficus and night jasmine are some of the plant species that intermingle with arbours, fountains, ceramics and monuments in these fabulous city gardens.
