Iglesia de San Luis de los Franceses
Iglesia de San Luis de los Franceses, Baroque church in Macarena district, Seville, Spain.
The church features a circular interior with sixteen Solomonic columns supporting a central cupola decorated with elaborate religious frescoes by Lucas de Valdés.
Construction of this Jesuit novitiate began in 1699 under architect Leonardo de Figueroa and concluded in 1731, before the Jesuits were expelled from Spain in 1767.
The interior displays four gilded altarpieces with paintings, including representations of King Louis IX of France beneath a large crown.
Located at Calle San Luis 37, the church reopened in 2016 after extensive renovations and now welcomes visitors to explore its architectural details.
Glass-encased reliquaries containing saints' bones are displayed in the private chapel, while a strategically placed mirror helps visitors view the dome decorations.
