Visit to the Facade of the Cilla del Cabildo Colegial

The Cilla del Cabildo Colegial de Osuna, designed in 1773 by the famous Baroque architect Antonio Ruiz Florindo, is one of the most sumptuous civil samples of the Andalusian Baroque in the province of Seville. Originally built as a granary to store the tithes destined for the Cathedral of Seville, it presents an imposing facade of light carved stone brought from Estepa.

The spectator can stop before a monumental-order portal modulated by pilasters with geometric motifs, mixtilinear gables, and refined undulating moldings. As a central sculptural finish, the carved images of the Giralda and Saints Justa and Rufina stand out, surrounded by vases with relief lilies.

As it is an exterior contemplation located in the middle of the route through the iconic Calle San Pedro, it is an experience totally free of free access. It is recommended to contemplate it during the morning or sunset, when the inclination of the sun accentuates the volumes of the stonework.
