The Costurero de la Reina is a small hexagonal castle with corner turrets, constructed in 1893 in what is now Maria Luisa Park in Seville, Spain. Designed by Juan Talavera y de la Vega in the neo-Mudéjar style, it is the oldest building in Seville to exemplify this architectural approach. Originally serving as a guard house and garden retreat within the grounds of the Palace of San Telmo, the pavilion acquired its popular name from a romanticized legend attributing it to Mercedes of Orléans, though she had died some fifteen years before its construction. Following restoration in 2007, the building now houses a tourist information office on its ground floor and serves as a venue for municipal meetings and events on the upper level.
