Iglesia de San Bartolomé

Iglesia de San Bartolomé is a neoclassical parish church located in the Old Town neighborhood of Seville. The interior features three naves divided by cruciform pillars, with the central nave topped by a barrel vault pierced by lunette windows.

The building was constructed between 1780 and 1796 under architect Antonio de Figueroa y Ruiz on the site of a former synagogue. The location belonged to Seville's Jewish Quarter before the church was built there.

The church takes its name from Saint Bartholomew, whose representation appears prominently in the main altarpiece alongside other saints. The placement and selection of these figures reflect the religious values that guided the church's design.

The church offers accessibility features for visitors with disabilities and sits in an easily navigable neighborhood. Its location on Calle Prim makes it straightforward to find and reach.

The church organ produces bass tones of exceptional harmonic sophistication, a quality rarely found among European church organs. This distinctive sound character enhances the acoustic experience for visitors.
