LA MERCED CONVENT
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]La Merced <\/em>convent is next to the crossing roads of C\u00f3rdoba and Palma del R\u00edo and was founded in 1509. The license was granted by Juana I la Loca, queen of Castilla. The Nuestra se\u00f1ora de la Merced <\/em>order was born in 1218 to rescue Christians that were captured by the Muslims in the north of Africa, and was supported by the crown of Arag\u00f3n. After suffering serious damage due to the Genil\u2019s flood in 1543, it was moved to its current location. It remained there until the exclaustration. Later on, it was given to the community of Hijas de Mar\u00eda Auxiliadora (Salesianas).<\/em><\/p>\n

The convent and the church keep practically all their original dependencies, although they were transformed during the 17th<\/sup> and the 18th<\/sup> century. The belfry was built around 1630, reusing the remains of the Almohad tower of the Puerta de Estepa, <\/em> which was demolished and dated back to the 12th<\/sup> and 13th<\/sup> century.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Address:<\/strong> Merced Street, 4, 41400, \u00c9cija (Seville).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”26079″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1618398184694{margin-top: 50px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]The convent is popularly known as Las Marroqu\u00edes <\/em>in memory of its founder\u2019s name, Francisca Marroqu\u00ed.

\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]It has its origins in some houses located at Emparedamiento street. In these houses, women who had an immoral life were helped and guided into the right way. In 1570 they moved to its current location, and the church was blessed the 13th<\/sup> of May 1573, under the invocation of La visitaci\u00f3n de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora Santa Isabel. <\/em>The church is covered by a coffered ceiling with a mudejar latticed pattern that dates back to the 16th<\/sup> century. The fa\u00e7ade, inaugurated in 1775, is made of white and black marble, and there is a carving of La visitaci\u00f3n de Santa Isabel <\/em>on the upper part. Finally, it has the emblem of the order of Los M\u00ednimos de San Francisco de Paula. <\/em>The quadrangular-based cloister has tri-lobed arches with an octagonal fountain made of marble in the centre. The belfry, with an angular disposition and made of carved brick and tiling, goes almost unnoticed due to the narrowness of the street.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Address: <\/strong>Padre Garc\u00eda Tejero Street, 2, 41400, \u00c9cija (Seville).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”26081″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1618398184694{margin-top: 50px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

SAN JOS\u00c9 CONVENT (LAS TERESAS) <\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]The Carmelitas Descalzas <\/em>community rented the Condes de Palma<\/em> palace in 1641. Some time after they bought it for an amount of 12000 ducats and adapted it as church and convent between 1643 and 1655.<\/p>\n

The remains of the old mudejar palace are preserved into the convent and they are numerous and very important: the structure and original organization of the premises as well as the patios with galleries, the predominance of quadrangular proportions and the plasterwork decorations.<\/p>\n

The fa\u00e7ade was commissioned by Don Lorenzo Su\u00e1rez de Figueroa, first Conde de Feria, <\/em>in the 15th<\/sup> century. He owned some manors in villages next to Portugal, that is why there is a predominant use of marine motifs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Address: <\/strong>San Antonio Street, 41400, \u00c9cija (Seville).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”26083″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ css=”.vc_custom_1618398184694{margin-top: 50px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

SANTA IN\u00c9S DEL VALLE ROYAL MONASTERY
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]It belongs to the Clarisas Franciscanas <\/em>community since its very origins. The first settlement of the foundation was located in the city outskirts, and it was moved to its current location in 1487. The convent has many benefactors, especially Isabel la Cat\u00f3lica, who stayed in it while she was raising funds for the Granada war. The empress Mar\u00eda de Austria, the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia and the town hall have also made valuable contributions. The latter gave economical support to the nuns when they lost part of the convent due to some disasters, such as the fire in 1622 and the Genil\u2019s flood in 1626.<\/p>\n

The church has only one nave with a door made of stone from Estepa. A second door was walled up during the 1960\u2019s, and a niche was placed in the centre, where the appearance of the F\u00e1tima Virgin is venerated. The nuns of the community make artisan bakery on demand.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top”]Address: <\/strong>Mayor Street, 37, 41400, \u00c9cija (Seville).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”26084″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”white”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
