Church of San Buenaventura

The Church of San Buenaventura is located in the centre of Seville, behind the Plaza Nueva and is part of the Convent of San Buenaventura, belonging to the Franciscans who founded it in the 17th century as a study centre for the now disappeared Convent of Casa Grande de San Francisco.

The exterior of the church is very simple, the main feature being a ceramic altarpiece of the Virgen de la Soledad. The interior has a rectangular floor plan with two naves. The main altar is Neo-Baroque in style, it was made in 1775 and was originally in the Franciscan convent of Osuna. It is overlooked by a central niche with an image of the Immaculate Conception, popularly called "La Sevillana", highly venerated in the city in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church has a hemispherical vault over the transept and it is decorated with frescoes of San Francisco by Francisco de Herrera "El Viejo".

On the Gospel Wall there is an altarpiece dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, accompanied an image of the Holy Cross, created in 1851 by Gabriel de Astorga, and taken on the Procession on Good Friday.
