Specially for Hilda: A small Chapel for the sailors.




Hilda, from Manila said:

"The spires of the church look wonderful! Maybe you can show us a close-up sometime?".



Here, they are.


This is the "Small Chapel" dedicated to de Virgin of Carmen. In spanish, "La Capillita del Carmen".


La Virgen del Carmen es la Virgen protectora de los marineros.
Esta capillita está situada junto al Puente de Triana y en el lugar donde durante los siglos XV, XVI, XVII y XVIII estaba situado el puerto de Sevilla en su orilla norte.
Allí iban los marineros a rezar y a pedir favores a la Virgen del Carmen.
