About San Gil
Where to stay in San Gil
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Churches set the tone here. A room in San Gil comes with the Iglesia de Omnium Sanctorum, the Iglesia de Santa Marina, and the Torre de don Fadrique on the same streets, an unusual weight of old fabric for a quarter that carries no hotel strip. If you want an address among the parishes rather than beside the counters, the district repays it, though beds run fewer than in central Sevilla.
About San Gil
What are the main landmarks in San Gil?
The Iglesia de San Luis de los Franceses is the showpiece. The same quarter carries the Iglesia de Omnium Sanctorum, the Iglesia de Santa Marina, and the Iglesia de San Gil Abad, three parish churches that account for much of the district's architecture. Two towers remain.
The Torre Blanca and the Torre de don Fadrique stand among the streets, and the Noviciado of the Society of Jesus and the Antiguo Hospicio Provincial y Capilla Doméstica close the list.
What is the history of San Gil?
Dates for San Gil never made the file. What San Gil has instead is a set of buildings that carry its past directly, beginning with the Iglesia de San Gil Abad, which shares the district's name, and continuing through the Iglesia de Omnium Sanctorum. Orders left their mark.
The Noviciado of the Society of Jesus speaks for the religious foundations, the Antiguo Hospicio Provincial y Capilla Doméstica for provincial welfare, and the Torre de don Fadrique for older stone standing in Sevilla.
