Seville enchants

The cultural centre, located in one of the finest examples of civil architecture in the county, houses a museum on the history of writing. 

It also has an area dedicated to the life and legacy of José Manuel Lara Hernández, founder of the Planeta publishing group, who is an El Pedroso native. This centre also focuses on the enormous relevance of mining in the town’s development.

 

The museum opened in March 2007 explores the close relationship that this town, considered an important hub of rail communications, has maintained with the railway since the 19th century, as well as the history and impact of the train on the development and economy of the municipality.

The José María Galván Contemporary Art Museum is housed in an ancient 16th-century public granary, of which the original arcade is preserved.

This Mudejar Thematic Centre is located in the San Felipe district, at the end of an alure on Ancha Street.

It is located in an 18th-century building known as the Casa del Aire. The Museum of Women in Flamenco is the only existing centre of its kind in the world, where visitors can gain insight into the living history of this acclaimed form of art.

Between 1634 and 1637, Francisco de Zurbarán created nine religious paintings for the San Juan Bautista Church, which today have become notable examples of the artistic style of this universally recognised painter.
