Paseo de Catalina de Ribera y Jardines de Murillo, Historic garden in Santa Cruz district, Seville, Spain.
Paseo de Catalina de Ribiera and Jardines de Murillo form a green space in Santa Cruz district with organized pathways and various tree species including magnolias, orange trees, and ficus. The layout features rectangular promenades with a central area containing a monument, ceramic-decorated benches, and fountains.
The gardens originally belonged to the Royal Alcázar of Seville until being transferred to the city in 1862. This donation enabled the expansion of April's Fair onto the grounds of Prado de San Sebastián.
The gardens are named after Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, who is buried in a neighboring church. This name choice from 1918 honors the artist's connection to the city.
The gardens are accessible daily with multiple parking facilities and accessibility features for visitors with disabilities. The space tends to get busier during peak times, especially when local events are taking place nearby.
The central area contains a monument honoring Columbus and the Catholic Monarchs. This memorial is often overlooked despite being connected to the city's maritime history.
