Capilla de los Marineros

A chapel open for public worship on Calle Pureza, in the Triana neighbourhood, the canonical seat of the Hermandad de la Esperanza de Triana. The brotherhood bought the plot in 1758 and invested 10,000 reales in building it; the building, in Baroque style with three longitudinal naves, was completed in 1815. After the confiscation of church property in 1868 it passed into private English hands and functioned as an Anglican chapel until the brotherhood recovered it in 1940, with restoration work completed in 1962 and extensions in 2010. It houses the titular images of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza and the Santísimo Cristo de las Tres Caídas. The main altarpiece comes from the Convent of La Merced in Osuna, around 1775, and the Neo-Mudéjar wooden coffered ceiling came from the former Colegio de Villasís. On the façade, tiles installed in 2012-2013 reproduce both titular images. Entry to the temple to venerate the images is free.
