Alamillo Park

About

Alamillo Park is one of Seville’s largest and most modern green spaces, a vast urban oasis stretching across the northern end of Isla de la Cartuja. Created for the 1992 Universal Exposition and later expanded, it offers a refreshing contrast to the historic centre with wide open meadows, lakes, and long tree‑lined avenues ideal for walking, cycling, and outdoor sports. The park’s landscape blends natural woodland with designed recreational areas, making it a favourite escape for families, runners, and anyone seeking calm in the city. Its landmark Alamillo Bridge, designed by Santiago Calatrava, rises dramatically nearby, adding a touch of contemporary architecture to the scenery. Throughout the year, the park hosts cultural events, concerts, and community activities that highlight its role as a vibrant public space. Alamillo Park remains a symbol of Seville’s commitment to green living, offering room to breathe, explore, and enjoy open‑air leisure within a peaceful natural setting.
