Puerta de Jerez
General data
The Puerta de Jerez is one of the main pedestrian squares in Seville, located at the entrance to the monumental area of the city. Its name comes from the old Puerta de Jerez which was located in this space, one of the main entrances to the city walls, and from which the road from Seville to Jerez de la Frontera started.
The square has beautiful buildings that give the space a great richness, such as the Fuente de Híspalis, located in the centre of the square; the regionalist-style Hotel Alfonso XIII built for the 1929 Exhibition; the French-influenced Palacio de Yanduri, built at the beginning of the 20th century; the Casa de los Guardiola and the Chapel of Santa María de Jesús.
In recent years, the space has been pedestrianised, joining the square with the Cristina Gardens, making it a great place for leisure and strolling for the enjoyment of pedestrians. Location: Puerta de Jerez, 41001 Seville.
The Puerta de Jerez is a large pedestrianised space consisting of a large square with a fountain in the centre, surrounded by benches and trees that provide visitors with a place to enjoy the city’s climate.
Next to the square, and connected by a pedestrian walkway, are the Cristina Gardens, a landscaped space that has recently been refurbished and modernised, including pergolas, a new fountain and flowerbeds that provide the space with a new area in which to organise outdoor activities and events.
Its versatile character and the large size of the venue make it possible to organise large exhibitions, product presentations or promotional activities. In addition, being located in a strategic area of the city, it offers easy access to the enclave, as it has a metro and tram station in the same square.
The maximum capacity of the venue is 300 people and there are several public car parks nearby. Access to the central area is adapted for the disabled.
