Hospital de los Venerables
Hospital de los Venerables Sacerdotes
A 17th-century Baroque retirement home for elderly priests in the Santa Cruz quarter. Its chapel is decorated with exquisite frescoes, and the building now houses the Velázquez Centre.
Construction of this building began in 1675. It was originally a retirement home for aging priests. Highlights include the sunken central courtyard and the fresco paintings in the chapel by Valdés Leal and his son. It is now run by the Focus Foundation as the Velázquez Centre, which displays works by Velázquez, Murillo and other artists of the Seville School. Admission is about €10, including an audio guide. Located on a small square in the heart of Santa Cruz, it is easy to combine with a stroll through the neighborhood.
