Costurero de la Reina, Neo-Mudéjar guard pavilion in Parque de María Luisa, Spain.
The hexagonal Costurero de la Reina features turrets at each corner, large windows, and decorative brickwork with yellow and red horizontal stripes.
Built in 1893 as part of San Telmo Palace gardens, this guard house was commissioned by Antoine of Orléans, Duke of Montpensier.
The building received its name from a story about Queen Mercedes of Orleans, who reportedly spent time sewing there, despite historical inaccuracies.
The ground floor houses a tourist information office open from 9 AM to 7:30 PM on weekdays, with reduced hours during weekends.
This structure marks the first Neo-Mudéjar architectural example in Seville, incorporating Arabic design elements into nineteenth-century Spanish construction.
