Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, founded as the "Museum of Painting" in 1835, opened its doors to the public in 1841 with works from bankrupt convents and monasteries, in the old Convento de la Merced Calzada. You will be amazed by the paintings from the 19th and 20th century. In addition, the museum houses interesting ceramic, gold and silver-smithery and weapons. The building, connected by a large staircase, owes its current configuration to the reforms carried out since the beginning of the 17th century. Installed in an old convent in the heart of Seville, it houses a collection of permanent works that brings together the most complete collections of Murillo and Valdés Leal, as well as works by Zurbarán and El Greco. Please call for open hours.
