Gelves. Corredor Verde Metropolitano
Metropolitan Green Corridor

The Metropolitan Green Corridor connects La Corchuela Periurban Park with various municipalities in the Seville Metropolitan Area through two bicycle lanes. This encourages the use of non-motorised transport, without overlooking the significant opportunities for recreational and tourist use, given its landscape quality and cultural and architectural heritage.

Bajo Guadalquivir - Gelves
Lower Guadalquivir (SCI) (SCA)

This Special Conservation Area (SCA) covers some 4,772 ha, mostly in the province of Seville. This site features prominently in the Andalusian Natura 2000 network owing to its special importance for the conservation of riparian habitats, certain fish species included in the Habitats Directive and, in general, the river ecosystem and the connectivity it provides as an ecological corridor.

Torre de los Herberos
Herberos Tower

Almohad watchtower integrated into Seville’s defences. It was built on the tell of the Iberian-Roman city of Orippo. Its foundations are made with ashlars taken from Roman ruins.

Orippo was a Roman city with Turdetan origins. It is mentioned in the VII Itinerary of Antoninus (Via Augusta), placing it between Ugia (Torre Alocaz, Utrera) and Hispalis (Seville), on the banks of the ancient Ligustine Lake. It is also mentioned in the Vicarello Goblets.

Pendiente
Plaza Menéndez Pelayo and Sculpture to the Virgin of Valme

Popularly known as “La Plazoleta”. On 22 May 1912, the Town Council placed on record their feelings about the death of the eminent philologist and historian from Santander, Don Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo (1856-1912). They also agreed to name a street "Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo". On 31 May 1912, the Town Council changed the name of the Plaza de Dos Hermanas to this new name.
