Tour of the Monasterio de la Encarnación and its Tile Collection
Managed by the Order of Mercy, this convent stands out for its sober Renaissance façade and a magnificent porticoed interior courtyard decorated with 16th-century Sevillian tiles. Its church preserves altarpieces of great value and an important collection of religious imagery.
The convent is also famous for its rich tradition of artisanal confectionery made by the nuns, an authentic traditional gastronomic delight that can be purchased directly at the convent's turnstile.
Guided tours inside are carried out at specific times managed by the convent itself, with a symbolic entrance fee of 3€ destined for the maintenance of the heritage.
