Iglesia de San Pedro

The Iglesia de San Pedro is a church with three naves, two main doorways, and a tower that rises above the surrounding buildings in Seville's old quarter. The tower displays distinct sections from different centuries, blending Mudejar and Renaissance elements.

The church began in the 14th century and experienced major changes in the following centuries as builders added new elements. The 16th and 18th centuries brought significant updates that transformed its appearance.

The stained-glass window at the center shows Saint Peter, with other holy figures in the surrounding windows that visitors notice as their eyes adjust to the interior light. These images served as visual teachings for people who came to pray.

The church can be viewed from outside at any time, but visiting the interior requires checking the hours of operation beforehand. Early morning or early afternoon visits work best when natural light illuminates the windows and interior details.

The tower's crown is topped with a tiled spire from the late 1590s that stands out with its decorative finish. This shiny, tiled element creates a distinctive silhouette that helps identify the building from a distance.
