Charity Hospital (Seville)

Spain / Sevilla / El Cuervo de Sevilla / Seville / Calle Temprado, 3
 church, interesting place

The extraordinary interior of the church begins with Valdés Leal’s Allegories of Death. The whole is capped by the main altarpiece, work of Bernardo Simón de Pineda and Pedro Roldán.

La Caridad is linked inseparably to Miguel Mañara, one of the wealthiest people in Seville at that time. After his wife’s death in 1661, he abandoned his worldly life and dedicated himself to helping the poor.
