}}
[[Seville Square]] is a park in historic [[downtown Pensacola]] that was the location of a [[1752]] Spanish outpost known as [[San Miguel]]. Under British occupation, it was laid out as a public square in the new city plan by [[Elias Durnford]] in [[1764]].  Seville Square was designated as a public plaza by the Spanish in [[1813]]. Over time, the square experienced the same deterioration suffered by the surrounding neighborhood, but in the last thirty years, has become the community center. The park is a frequent host to concerts and festivals.
