Iglesia de San Marcos

About

Iglesia de San Marcos is one of Seville’s most striking Mudejar churches, standing quietly in the northern part of the historic centre. Built in the 14th century, it reflects the city’s medieval character with its brick façade, pointed arches, and a distinctive square tower that once formed part of the old defensive walls. The church has endured fires, restorations, and centuries of change, yet it preserves an atmosphere of resilience and simplicity. Inside, the space feels serene, with clean lines, soft light, and chapels that reveal layers of Gothic and later Baroque additions. San Marcos is also closely linked to local Holy Week traditions, serving as the home of the Hermandad de la Hiniesta, whose processions are among the most cherished in Seville. Visiting this church offers a glimpse into the city’s architectural evolution and its enduring spiritual life, making it a rewarding stop for travellers seeking authenticity and quiet beauty.
