Opposite San Telmo, between 1827 and 1830, Melchor Cano was commissioned to design an area which started in the Jardines del Cristina and stretched to El Paseo de las Delicias.The project was a starting point for the urban transformation of the southern part of the city. In 1911, approval was given to extend the avenue of the Paseo de las Delicias by adding El Paseo de la Palmera. On completion of the project, which was designed by Juan Talavera, the city grew southwards and the construction of splendid new buildings attracted the upper classes who went to live there. A kind of new and prosperous garden city, some of its most emblematic buildings include the houses belonging to the Sundhein (1916) and Luca de Tena families(1926). Its promenades cross some of the most beautiful green areas in Seville such as the María Luisa Park, and the pavilions of the 1929 Exposition. |
