Sevilla Hotels with Car Parking

The oldest park of Seville, Delicias de Arjona, is located between the Maria Luisa Park and the River Guadalquivir. It was opened for visitors in the beginning of the 19th century. At the other bank of the river you'll see Parque de los Principes, laid out in 1973. Even younger is El Prado de San Sebastian Park, situated at one of the vacant sites of Seville. It's planted with palm trees and can boast of lots of small ponds. Near the Alcázar Palace take place the Murillo Gardens, called after the artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The park was laid out in a typical style of Seville: there are a lot of palms, arcades, flowers and sculptures by local masters.

The Giralda Tower. For a long time from 711 to 1248 Seville was under the influence of the Moslem, which, of course, affected the look of the city. One of the most famous Islam monuments is the Giralda Tower that, by the way, serves as the symbol of the Seville. The tower is 97 meters tall. Primordially it was the Mauritanian minaret. From the viewing platform of the Giralda Tower one can enjoy the marvelous view on the city. In the 14th century they changed the Mauritanian cupolas on the top of the tower for the Christian symbols. And in 1568 the Giralda got the chapel tower, projected by Hernan Ruiz.
