San Marcos
The elegant 14C facade of this church perfectly blends Gothic and Mudejar elements. The Giralda has clearly influenced the superb Mudejar tower. With the exception of the Gothic stone door, the whole construction is in brick. Inside, there is an attractive statue of St Mark from the 17C and a Christ recumbent from the 18C. On Santa Isabel square, the door of the convent of the same name is decorated with a relief of the Visit to the Virgin by her cousin Elisabeth.

Concordia square
On this square a municipal exhibition hall is set up in the old church of the San Hermenegildo college (1616-1620), which has preserved an attractive oval dome.

Triana
Traditionally the district of sailors and potters, it is also the cradle of bullfighters and flamenco singers. On the Altozano square stands a monument in honour of Juan Belmonte, a famous figure in the history of bullfighting. Don't miss seeing Betis Street, the facade of the Triana on the Guadalquivir and, in Pureza Street, the chapel of the Sailors and its statue of the Virgin of Hope for the Triana, one of the most venerated in Seville, as well as the church of Santa Ana.
