Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

The chapel was once known as San Ginés. It is located on the avenue of the same name, probably being a primitive Mudejar work, to which the external walls of the main chapel, which was totally renovated in the 18th century, would have belonged.

In Calle López de Ayala you can find the Hospital de los Milagros, also known as the Hospitalito.

This building has a main doorway from the early 16th century consisting of a basket arch with decorated archivolts and a niche on the alfiz that frames it. It is believed that it was founded in the late 15th century. It was still in use at the end of the 18th century.

The building dates from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is currently privately owned and is being restored to be used as an apartment building. Of Gothic-Mudejar origin, it has a single nave, divided into four sections by pointed transverse arches, the apse being made up of two sections, a rectangular one roofed with a coffered vault and a semicircular one with a ribbed vault.

This is a monument of great interest although unfortunately only the outer walls remain, including a doorway that, according to tradition, belonged to the now defunct monastery of San Francisco and which has a simple Renaissance design attributed to Hernán Ruiz II himself, who was involved in the design of the parish church tower.

The church is part of the Salesian school building and dates back to 1944.

The placement of some ashlars appears to indicate the tower was initially part of a building intended as housing. Today it is a free-standing tower.

The original Mudejar portal of the Church from the early 16th century remains. The brick building has a Latin cross plan with a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and lunettes. The temple was founded in 1537 by Gonzalo Jiménez Benjumea as the seat of several chaplaincies.
