===Other parks and gardens=== In addition to the large Parque de María Luisa, the city contains other parks and gardens, including: * The Alcázar Gardens, within the grounds of the Alcázar palace, consist of several sectors developed in different historical styles. * The Gardens of Murillo and the Gardens of Catalina de Ribera, both along and outside the south wall of the Alcázar, lie next to the Santa Cruz quarter. * The ''Parque del Alamillo y San Jerónimo'', the largest park in Andalusia, was originally built for [[Seville Expo '92]] to reproduce the Andalusian native flora. It lines both Guadalquivir shores around the ''San Jerónimo'' [[meander]]. The 32-metres-high bronze sculpture, ''[[Birth of a New Man|The Birth of a New Man]]'' (popularly known as Columbus's Egg, ''el Huevo de Colón''), by the Georgian sculptor [[Zurab Tsereteli]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/sevilla/abc.sevilla/1994/09/08/056.html |title=ABC Hemeroteca |website=ABC|location=Spain |access-date=12 March 2012}}</ref> is located in its northwestern sector. * The American Garden, also completed for Expo '92, is in [[La Cartuja]]. It is a public botanical garden, with a representative collection of American plants donated by different countries on the occasion of the world exposition. Despite its extraordinary botanical value, it remains a mostly abandoned place. * The [[Buhaira Gardens]], also historically known as the ''Huerta del Rey'', are a public park and historic site, originally created as a garden estate during the Almohad period (12th century).<ref name="Turismo Sevilla-2022">{{Cite web|title=Buhaira Palace and its Gardens|url=https://www.turismosevilla.org/index.php/en/what-see-and-do/heritage/monuments/buhaira-palace-and-its-gardens|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220121010152/https://www.turismosevilla.org/index.php/en/what-see-and-do/heritage/monuments/buhaira-palace-and-its-gardens|archive-date=21 January 2022|access-date=20 January 2022|website=Turimo de la Provincia - Sevilla}}</ref><ref name="Arnold-2017">{{Cite book|last=Arnold|first=Felix|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bXjXDQAAQBAJ&dq=Islamic+Palace+Architecture+in+the+Western+Mediterranean&pg=PP1|title=Islamic Palace Architecture in the Western Mediterranean: A History|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2017|isbn=978-0-19-062455-2|location=|pages=}}</ref>{{Rp|page=211}} {{wide image|Sevilla_Alcazar_03.jpg|700px|The Alcázar Gardens}}
