The Gardens of Murillo were given to the city in 1911. At one time they were the vegetable gardens and orchards of the Real Alcazar. They are named after the painter Bartolome Murillo who lived nearby in the 17th Century. In the gardens is a tall monument to Christopher Columbus. It incorporates a bronze of the Santa Maria, the ship in which Columbus sailed to the Americas in 1492.
