Discover a baroque jewel of the 17th century
Hospital de los Venerables Private Tour
Mon - Tue - Wed - Thu - Fri - Sat (Approximately 1h 30 min.)
The Hospital de los Venerables, founded by Justino de Neves in the 17th century for retired and sick canons, is a Baroque jewel located in the Santa Cruz quarter of Seville.
The start of our tour is a short guided walk through the Barrio de Santa Cruz that will take us to its most famous monument.
To begin with, we will enter its beautiful stop and guard house, which gives direct access to the beautiful cloister and thus to the central work of the hospital, which is the Church of Los Venerables, where you can enjoy the paintings that decorate its walls, dedicated to San Fernando and made by the painter Valdés Leal and his son Lucas Valdés, all complemented by the beautiful sculptural works of Martínez Montañes and Pedro Roldán, remembered as the greatest baroque image makers of Seville.
After visiting the temple, we will walk through the courtyard of Doña Elvira, who inspired José Zorilla to create Don Juan Tenorio.
After our journey through Spanish literature, we will visit the Velázquez Centre, where we will be able to enjoy great works of art from the 17th century that tell the story of the religiousness of the city during the Baroque period, portrayed by artists such as Velázquez, Murillo, Zurbarán and Pacheco.
Finally, we will climb a magnificent staircase that preserves an exceptional Mudejar coffered ceiling to reach the Baroque Library and the Centre of Contemporary Painting, which will end our journey through time in this magnificent enclave.
