Iglesia de San Marcos, Gothic church in Old Town, Seville, Spain
Description
Iglesia de San Marcos is a Gothic church in Seville's old quarter with three naves arranged side by side. The lateral sections have straight walls while the central space rises toward an octagonal choir covered by brick ribbed vaults that emphasize the vertical pull of Gothic design.
History
The building dates to the 14th century and blends Gothic with Mudejar elements, remaining largely unaltered through the centuries. This mixture reflects how two architectural traditions coexisted in one structure.
Culture
The main entrance displays ornate stonework and houses sculptures that show how artistic expression was woven into religious spaces. The building reflects how local craftspeople valued intricate techniques in their sacred structures.
Practical
The church sits on San Luis Street within the old city walls and is easily reached on foot. The white interior walls create a bright setting that makes the architectural features clearly visible.
Did you know?
The tower, roughly 22 meters tall, is decorated with sebka patterns, a geometric design typical of Andalusian architecture. A bell was added to it in 1603, and architect Anibal Gonzalez carried out significant repairs in 1916.
