The Vallellano Gardens were built on the grounds of the former Huerta del Rey, together with the avenue that meant the extension of the Paseo de la Victoria to the River Guadalquivir and the remodelling of the accesses to Cordoba from Seville. They were inaugurated on 18 July 1955. Several decades later, the landscaped area was remodelled by removing some of the trees and building wide, straight, paved walkways to replace the earthy, winding paths that were originally designed. Swings and other elements for children’s enjoyment were also installed.
These gardens are home to a large number of shrub and tree species, some of which are very large given their age: oleander, Jupiter tree, casuaria, cedar, Japanese plum, Jerusalem thorn, eucalyptus, ash, magnolia, mimosa, palma excelsa, paradise, sycamore, among others.
There are also archaeological remains here, such as a Roman cistern.
