EL Hospital de los Venerables.




El Hospital de los Venerables, como es conocido popularmente, se encuentra en la Plaza de los Venerables, corazón del Barrio de Santa Cruz.
Fundado por el canónigo de la S. I. Catedral de Sevilla D. Justino de Neve en el año 1675 como residencia para venerables sacerdotes, es la actualidad sede de la Fundación FOCUS.
Cuenta con el que quizás sea el más bello de los patios sevillanos, con una fuente central escalonada en el pavimento, diseñado por el gran arquitecto barroco Leonardo de Figueroa,
En el interior de su iglesia de 1.689 y consagrada en honor de San Fernando se pueden admirar las pinturas murales del presbiterio y sacristía realizadas por Valdés Leal y las de su hijo Lucas que cubren la bóveda y los muros de la nave.
