This mudéjar (form of Arabic art) style church located in the Jewish quarter (Judería) was erected in 1391; today, however, only the façade remains from this original construction. Rebuilt in the 17th century, it's one of the most beautiful churches of the Sevillian baroque period. The floor is comprised of three naves, divided by red marble columns. A rich decoration of baroque plaster work attributed to Pedro and Miguel Broja hides, according to some experts, the sole nave that the former sinagogue should really have. Among the many treasures found here are the paintings of La Sagrada Cena (The Holy Supper) by Murillo and Luis de Vargas' La Piedad (Pieta-Mother with Child)
