Overview

This church is one of the few samples of Alphonsine architecture that remains in Seville, having been founded in the 13th century by Archbishop Don Remondo, who named the parochial church "San Gil" for the parish where he was baptized in his native city of Segovia. It was looted and destroyed in the Civil War in 1936, and a large portion of its artistic heritage thereby disappeared. You can also enter the church by way of the Basilica of the Macarena, through one of the doors on the side of the altar. Entering on this side, you will find a beautiful Gothic door that opens to the church.
