Plaza de Doña Elvira (“Doña Elvira Square”) is located in the beautiful Santa Cruz district in Seville. As the story goes, here was Mr. Gonzalo de Ulloa’s house, father of “Don Juan Tenorio’s” Mrs. Elvira.
It is not very big in size, but in charm. You can reach it from several streets, but getting there will take you by surprise. It is as if, even knowing it’s there, you did not expect to find such an enthralling little place. There are landscaped gardens in its central space, as well as fountains, benches and orange trees. Beautiful Sevilian houses are around it, as well as restaurants and souvenir shops.
Plaza de Doña Elvira is just one step away from the Patio de Banderas, the Alcazar of Seville, the Hospital de los Venerables or the Jardines de Murillo.
On your way through the neighbourhood of Santa Cruz, don’t forget to visit this place. You can sit for a while to rest under its orange trees or to take great pictures of the place, for the record of one of the most beautiful oasis that you will find on your tour along Seville.
