Collegiate Church of San Pedro

Its construction began in 1613 thanks to the collaboration of the uncle of the Duke of Lerma, Cristóbal de Rojas y Sandoval, archbishop of Seville. Fray Alberto de la Madre de Dios was commissioned to enlarge an existing church. It has a hall plan with three naves and next to the building rises a tower on which was placed the typical Herrerian spire of the Austrias. Inside, the main altarpiece, which has been replaced by another of the eighteenth century, was made by Francisco Velázquez and the sculptural decoration belonged to Gregorio Fernández. In the presbytery there is a statue in praying position of the archbishop of Seville previously mentioned, carried out by Juan de Arfe and Lesmes Fernandez del Moral according to the style of Pompeyo Leoni. The organ of 1616 by Diego Quijano and the inlaid table of Italian style of the XVII century are interesting and valuable.
