The Cathedral

The Cathedral of Seville is the largest Gothic temple in the world and the third largest in Christendom after St. Peter's in the Vatican and St. Paul's in London. Building works began in 1403 on the former Great Mosque of Seville, an Almohad work of which the Patio de los Naranjos and the Giralda have been preserved.

Church of San Luis de los Franceses

This emblematic building has been owned by the Seville Provincial Council since the 19th century after a process of confiscation. The complex was built between 1699 and 1731 and is one of the best preserved examples of Baroque in Seville.

Church of the Annunciation

The Church of the Annunciation is one of the most interesting Renaissance buildings in Seville. It was the old church of the Professed House of the Society of Jesus, the foundation of which dates back to 1565. The expulsion of the Society of Jesus in 1767 entailed the abandonment of the convent, to which the University of Seville would move in 1771.

Capillita san josé
Little Chapel of Saint Joseph

Located in Seville, the construction of the Chapel of San José was promoted by the corporation of carpenters who, after meeting in the town hall, decided in 1746 to extend the old temple by building a new, much deeper, main chapel, providing it with a front transept, a dressing room and a storeroom.
