Paseo de Catalina de Ribera

The Paseo de Catalina de Ribera is a public garden adjacent to the Royal Palace in Seville that runs along the palace walls. Laid out with carefully arranged flower beds, decorative benches, and rows of trees, it provides a structured green space for walking and sitting.

The origins of this space date to 1862 when royal authorities transferred a portion of a former estate to Seville. The garden was formally laid out in 1898, creating a new public space in the city.

The garden is named after a 16th-century noblewoman who founded a significant hospital in the city. This historical connection shapes how locals understand and value the space today.

This garden is free to access and located conveniently between the palace walls and the surrounding city. Visitors can walk through easily or rest on the many benches, making it a good place to take a break while exploring the area.

The garden was designated as a Cultural Interest Site in 2002 and opens directly onto another historic garden space. These two adjoining green areas form a connected network of protected gardens in the heart of the city.
