Monasterio de Santa Inés
Monasterio de Santa Inés, Gothic convent in historic quarter, Seville, Spain.
Monasterio de Santa Inés is a Gothic convent in the historic quarter of Seville, featuring a basilica with three naves and several interconnected courtyards. The complex includes multiple chapels, a dining hall, living quarters, and spaces for storage and study that form a complete religious community.
María Fernández Coronel founded the convent in 1374 on land that once held her family's palace, establishing it with approval from both the Pope and the Spanish crown. The site became an important religious institution within Seville's medieval urban fabric.
The convent is named after Saint Agnes, a patron of young women venerated in the community. It continues to serve as a living religious space where nuns maintain daily spiritual practices and preserve artworks that reflect centuries of faith and devotion.
The entrance is located on Doña María Coronel Street near San Pedro Church in the historic area. Visitors should contact ahead of time to arrange guided tours and learn about current visiting conditions.
A stunning Baroque organ inside inspired the writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer to create the tale 'Maese Pérez, the Organist,' which became a beloved Spanish literary work. The instrument received a major restoration in 2017, reviving its historical voice.
