Gothic-Mudéjar jewels in the Iglesia de Santa Catalina

Reopened after more than fourteen years of meticulous restoration, the Iglesia de Santa Catalina represents one of the oldest and most unique parishes in the historic center of Seville. Built at the end of the 13th century on an old mosque and rebuilt in the 14th century after an earthquake, this temple combines the sobriety of its Gothic-Mudéjar brick structure with dazzling Baroque additions.

Inside, you can admire an authentic museum of sacred art that houses works by authors such as Luisa Roldán, Pedro Duque Cornejo, or Domingo Martínez. The Sacramental Chapel, designed by the master Leonardo de Figueroa in the middle of the 18th century and considered a jewel of Andalusian Baroque architecture, stands out absolutely, along with its archaeological crypt where Roman, Visigothic, and Islamic vestiges converge.

Entrance to the church is free during general opening and worship hours, usually from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00. To visit spaces usually closed, such as the crypt or the bell tower, there are specialized guided tours with limited capacity.
