Church of San Luis de los Franceses
Iglesia de San Luis de los Franceses
A peak of Seville Baroque architecture, where the frescoes inside a round dome and the golden altarpieces are dazzling. A Jesuit crypt lies beneath.
The church was built by architect Leonardo de Figueroa between 1699 and 1731 for a Jesuit novitiate. Its Greek-cross plan is covered by a tall dome, and the walls are full of frescoes, mirrors and golden altarpieces. It is considered the most magnificent Baroque space in Seville. The church also has a family chapel and an underground burial vault to visit. Admission is about €4, and it is closed on Mondays. Located on Calle San Luis in the northern part of the old town, it can be visited together with the Basilica of La Macarena.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 10:00–14:00, 16:00–20:00 (in summer, afternoons may be closed)
