Convent of Santa Paula

In the heart of the San Julián district, the belfry of the Santa Paula monastery stands out. In 1473, Pope Sixtus IV granted the foundational papal bull of the monastery to Ana de Santillán y Guzmán, a woman who entered San Juan de la Palma after being widowed. At this retrea, she thought about the idea of creating a cloistered monument for the Hieronymite Order.

Little Chapel of Saint Joseph

Located in Seville, the construction of the Chapel of San José was promoted by the corporation of carpenters who, after meeting in the town hall, decided in 1746 to extend the old temple by building a new, much deeper, main chapel, providing it with a front transept, a dressing room and a storeroom.
