Capilla de Nuestra Señora del Rosario - Hermandad de Las Aguas

The Chapel of Nuestra Señora del Rosario stands in a place formerly known as Resolana del Río, located outside the city walls between the banks of the Guadalquivir River and the Atarazanas Reales (Royal Shipyards), where a cross and a shrine used to stand.

The core of the Hermandad de la Santa Cruz brotherhood have been gathering at this shrine since 1635, a place where many of the faithful met to pray the Rosary at sunset. This custom became stronger years later when the corporation merged with the Congregation of the Rosary giving rise to the brotherhood known as the Hermandad de la Santa Cruz y Nuestra Señora del Rosario. 

In 1985 the Chapel of the Rosary was declared a Historical Monument by the Ministry of Culture of the Regional Government of Andalusia. The current Chapel of the Rosary is a modern construction designed by the architects of the Theatre of the Maestranza Luis Marín and Aurelio del Pozo and it has been the headquarters of the Hermandad del Santísimo Cristo de las Aguas since 1977. This brotherhood was founded in 1750 in the populous Triana neighbourhood and undertakes a procession of penance to the Holy Cathedral Church during the evening-night of Easter Monday.

They pay homage to the image of the Santísimo Cristo de las Aguas created by Antonio Llanes in 1940; Nuestra Señora del Mayor Dolor by José Romero Morillo in 1944; María Santísima de Guadalupe created in 1967 by Luis Álvarez Duarte and the patron of the Chapel of Nuestra Señora del Rosario, a glorious life-size image of the Virgin and Child that has all the traditional features of 18th-century Sevillian carving.
