2 unusual facts about la Alameda


La Alameda, Seville

As the culmination of this project, two sculptures were placed atop the two southern columns: Hercules (mythological founder of Seville) and Julius Caesar (referred to as the restorer of the city during Roman rule).

The promenade was also restored with the planting of many white poplars and European hackberry trees.


Diego de Pesquera

He also worked on non-sacred themes, in 1574 producing sculptures of Julius Caesar and Hercules for La Alameda.
