Seville City Council has unanimously approved the naming of five public spaces in the districts of Nervión, Bellavista-La Palmera and Este-Alcosa-Torreblanca.
Seville City Council has greenlit the naming of five new public spaces in the city, a gesture that recognises solidarity, history and civic commitment. The decision, adopted unanimously by all political groups, affects the districts of Nervión, Bellavista-La Palmera and Este-Alcosa-Torreblanca.
Park Donantes de Corazón: a tribute to generosity
The space located between Juan Antonio Cavestany, Enrique Marco Dorta and Santa Juana Jugan streets, in Nervión, will be named Park Donantes de Corazón. The name pays tribute to those who donate organs, blood and bone marrow, as well as to the families who, in the most difficult moments, make donation possible. It also acknowledges the work of public health professionals and Spain's leadership in transplants.
“It is a recognition of the generosity of donors and of the families who, in pain, say yes to life,” municipal sources stated.
Manuel Prieto Sánchez: the fishmonger of Nervión who leaves a mark
The playground next to the Mercado de Las Palmeritas will bear the name Manuel Prieto Sánchez, a historic trader and a beloved figure in the neighbourhood. Founder of a lineage of fishmongers for over five decades, Prieto was known for his closeness and commitment to the locals. His career was linked to the market since its opening in 1973.
Centenary of Bellavista: a century of neighbourhood
The park next to Venta Antequera will be named Centenary Park of Bellavista, as part of the commemorative events for the first century of history of this Seville neighbourhood. The initiative, supported by local entities and the Municipal Board of the district, acknowledges the collective effort of generations of residents who have contributed to the growth and transformation of the area.
Plaza Aviación Civil and Luis Sarmiento Aguilar street
In the Este-Alcosa-Torreblanca district, the central square of Sector 8 will be named Plaza Aviación Civil, maintaining consistency with the area's nomenclature inspired by aviation. Meanwhile, a pedestrian street in Nervión will be named Luis Sarmiento Aguilar, a historic trade unionist from Astilleros de Sevilla and a strong advocate for organ donation after receiving a liver transplant in 2002.
“His social, union and civic commitment deserves this recognition,” highlighted the transplant association.
With these five new names, Seville City Council aims to reinforce the identity of the neighbourhoods and highlight the work of individuals and groups that have marked the history of the city. Residents will be able to enjoy these spaces with new names that evoke solidarity, local commerce and collective memory.
