Convento de Madre de Dios, Dominican convent in San Bartolomé district, Seville, Spain.
The rectangular church features a single nave with wooden coffered ceilings and a grand marble entrance on San José Street.
Isabel Ruiz de Esquivel established the convent in 1472, and Queen Isabella I granted them houses from the Jewish quarter in 1496.
The convent maintains the tradition of making traditional sweets like cordiales and magdalenas using centuries-old recipes passed through generations.
Visitors can access the convent daily from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM to purchase traditional confections.
