Convento de Padres Capuchinos, Capuchin convent in historic district, Seville, Spain.

The Capuchin convent features three naves with lateral chapels and a central nave covered by a barrel vault with lunettes and a hemispherical dome.

Founded in 1627, the convent stands on the site where Saints Justa and Rufina were martyred and where Saint Isidore of Seville was buried.

The convent held an important collection of paintings by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, which were moved to Gibraltar during the French invasion of 1810.

Visitors can access the convent through an entrance arch on Ronda de Capuchinos, marked by a stone carving of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The convent houses ceramic altarpieces by Enrique Orce depicting the Embrace of Saint Francis to Christ and the Coronation of the Divine Shepherdess.
