    Hospital de la Caridad

    Posted by VentalaRaya 25 August 2006

    Don't be put of by the name, this "charity hospital", in particular the entrance patio and it's gem of a chapel, are well worth a visit. The place was built in 1676 as a home for the destitute and still operates as such. There is a small entrance charge, but the original paintings by Murillo and Valdés Leal (including one of a dead bishop being eaten by worms) plus the chapel itself, make it great value.

    Calle Temprado 3, Sevilla - it's a side street parallel to the river road near the Torre del Oro; tel: 95 422 32 32;
    Open: Mon-Sat 10.30-13.30 and 16.30-18.30

    Alcazar

    Posted by donkeebrain 4 October 2005

    It's a Moorish palace from the Moor occupation. It's much less manicured than al Hambra in Granada, thus much more human in atmosphere and scale. If you're a fan of Islamic art (I am) then your breath will be taken away by the exquisite, mathematically inspired carvings.

    It's right in the centre by the cathedral, which is dark and dingy in comparison
