I stumbled upon this church as it was near where I was staying and I heard noises as it had opened for mass one evening. So as not to disturb the ceremony I looked from just inside the entrance, but from even there the artwork was stunning.

Right at Seville's Barrio Santa Cruz, a modest façade will not certainly impress you at all. This is the awesome "Iglesia de Santa María la Blanca" - a temple dedicated to the cult of "Nuestra Señora de las Nieves". Recently restored, this Church dates as far back as the 11th century, being initially a mosque, converted into a synagogue in 1252 and later, in 1391, christianized. It was almost totally demolished in 1661 and rebuilt - at the same site - with baroque and gothic styles' characteristics. Despite the simple façade, its interior is really breathtaking, with fantastic artistic treasures, including paintings by famous Murillo, a Seville's born painter. If you miss it, you'll regret forever! Check its restrict opening hours before going. Enjoy!…

A surprising interior, every inch covered with decoration, the impact on entering a church with such a plain exterior, complex stucco decoration, beyond description, a must see.

Seen the big cathedrals, but this has a charm and elegance that is really special. Love the colors (gold and white), the art work... It's very special, left me speechless. Only found it because it was recommended by a tour guide.

Stunning. A little oasis in the bustle of the town . Well worth a visit. The history that is involved makes it a necessary stop.
