Parroquia de San Isidoro

Located at the highest point in the city of Seville, testifying to the antiquity of its origins, the Church of San Isidoro is one of a group of churches founded in the period after the reconquest (1248). The current church was built in the mid-14th century, following the Gothic-Mudejar style of the time.

The front of the church was rebuilt at the end of the 16th or the start of the 17th century, expanding the presbytery and creating two side chapels. Chapels were added to the church's Gospel nave during the 18th century, when a range of renovation work was also undertaken. The parish has had a number of illustrious residents, including Miguel de Cervantes and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.

The church has a rectangular floor plan with three naves, a transept and side chapels. The central nave is covered with a wooden framework in the form of a trough, with coffering in the Mudéjar tradition. The side naves are covered by a porch roof, while the transept features a semi-spherical vault on pedentives. The transept wings and the main chapel are covered by a barrel vault.

In the third quarter of the 18th century, the Sacramental chapel and the chapel of the Brotherhood of the Tres Caídas were built in the Gospel nave. The Baptismal Chapel is at the end of this nave and has a vault supported by squinches in the Mudejar tradition, like the Milagrosa chapel, the only chapel in the Epistole nave.
