Church of San Hermenegildo, Sevilla

The Church of San Hermenegildo features an oval-shaped dome with radial ribs supporting religious images along its walls and interior decorations.

The Jesuits established this church in 1554, and after their departure in 1767, the building served as an artillery barracks in the 19th century.

The church holds a stone inscription in Latin and Spanish commemorating the location where King Hermenegildo shed his blood according to local tradition.

The Church of San Hermenegildo stands in Plaza de la Concordia, near the northern walls of Seville, making it accessible from the city center.

From 1985 to 1992, this religious building served as the headquarters of the Parliament of Andalusia, marking a shift from religious to institutional use.
