Iglesia de Santa María la Blanca is one of Seville’s most atmospheric and historically layered churches, a place where Jewish, Islamic, and Christian traditions converge. Originally part of the city’s medieval Jewish quarter, it was built over a former synagogue and later transformed into a richly decorated Baroque temple. Its interior is a luminous display of stucco work, gilded altarpieces, and elegant arches that create a sense of movement and light. The famous Baroque renovation by Pedro Roldán and others filled the space with sculptural energy, making it one of the finest examples of Sevillian decorative art. Despite its modest size, the church feels intimate and radiant, inviting visitors to appreciate both its spiritual warmth and its artistic refinement. Santa María la Blanca stands today as a testament to Seville’s multicultural past and the enduring beauty of Baroque craftsmanship, offering a serene yet vibrant stop in the heart of the historic centre.
