Park of the Perdigones

About

Park of the Perdigones is a small but distinctive green space in northern Seville, known for its blend of neighbourhood charm and industrial heritage. The park takes its name from the nearby Perdigones Tower, a former 19th‑century shot tower that now houses a popular camera obscura offering panoramic views of the city. Around it, the park provides open lawns, shaded paths, and a relaxed atmosphere where locals gather, children play, and visitors pause between exploring nearby landmarks. Its mix of modern landscaping and preserved historic structures gives the area a unique character, making it more than just a simple urban garden. The presence of the tower adds a vertical focal point that contrasts with the surrounding residential streets, creating a memorable setting. Park of the Perdigones remains a pleasant stop for anyone seeking a quieter corner of Seville, where everyday life and history meet in a modest yet engaging environment.
