Hospital de los Venerables

The beautiful Baroque building on this square is the Hospital de los Venerables. Built in the late 17th century, it housed elderly members of the clergy, serving as a luxurious retirement home for priests. Today, the former hospice is home to the Velázquez Centre, a museum dedicated to the life and work of Diego Velázquez, one of Spain’s greatest painters. The permanent exhibition explores the deeper meaning of this Sevillian artists’ work, offering insights into his artistic genius. While you’re here, go ahead and visit the peaceful cloister and the chapel, decorated with stunning murals.
