Iglesia del Sagrario

Avenida de la Constitución

About

This chapel within the main body of the cathedral is a fine example of the transition of architectural styles - from late Mannerism to early baroque, shown most effectively in the classic and austere exterior. Miguel de Zumárraga, Alonso de Vandelvira and Cristobal de Rojas drew up the plans and building work was concluded in 1662. The main altarpiece is a real jewel created by Francisco Dionisio de Ribas. Pedro Roldán (Seville's most famous 17th century sculptor) produced the central scene of the Descent from the Cross and the collosal stone sculptures of church dignitaries were the work of Flemish sculptor, José de Arce in 1657. You can ask the parish priest for the key to the crypt that holds the skeletons of numerous clergymen that served here.
