Iglesia de Santa Catalina, Gothic and Mudéjar church in Old Town, Seville, Spain

The church features three naves divided by transverse arches, with Mudéjar wooden coffered ceilings and Gothic ribbed vaults in the head area.

Following an earthquake in 1356, the church underwent reconstruction, and archaeological excavations revealed it stands on the site of a former mosque.

The main altarpiece displays scenes from Saint Catherine's life through canvases, including an 18th-century sculpture within a structure created by Diego López Bueno.

The church received extensive renovations between 2004 and 2018, resulting in structural improvements and restoration of its architectural elements.

The church incorporates a Gothic façade transferred from Iglesia de Santa Lucía, which now covers the original Mudéjar entrance with its horseshoe arch.
