Plaza de Doña Elvira

This small pedestrian square features a central fountain surrounded by flowerbeds, benches, and orange trees, creating an intimate space for relaxation and social gatherings.

The square was reconstructed between 1911 and 1918 under municipal architect Juan Talavera y Heredia, replacing a 17th-century playhouse that once hosted theatrical performances.

Local legend connects the square to Don Gonzalo de Ulloa's house, father of Doña Elvira from Zorrilla's famous play 'Don Juan Tenorio', linking it to Spanish literary tradition.

Visitors can access the square via bus lines 05, C3, and C5, and enjoy restaurants, terraces, and souvenir shops that line its perimeter throughout the day.

The square maintains its original early 20th-century layout with characteristic Sevillian architecture, featuring whitewashed walls and ornate balconies that create a distinctive urban oasis.
