Pedagogical Itineraries
The Chapter of the Cathedral of Seville offers a series of pedagogical itineraries, directed by the Cathedral’s staff, and aimed primarily at schools in the Archdiocese of Seville, although schools from other parts of Spain are also welcome.
The main objective is to bring young people closer to the Cathedral, helping them to understand the meaning of this sacred space and all it contains, through its catechetical and evangelising role, while also highlighting its cultural and historical significance.
For the 2024/2025 academic year, the following itineraries are available (click on each itinerary for further information):
The Cathedral of Seville was consecrated in 1248, after the reinstatement of Christian worship in the city by King Ferdinand III the Saint. Therefore, from that moment, this temple is the church of the archbishop of Seville and of all his diocesans, being also one of the main centers of Faith for Christianity.
The present Gothic building is due to the construction activity of the Cathedral Chapter, which took place during the 15th century, and since then there has been intense architectural, artistic and religious activity within its walls.
The aim of this itinerary is to explore how the various artistic disciplines play a fundamental role in catechesis and evangelisation, helping us to understand how the historical protagonists of this sacred space oriented everything towards God, and for God.
The figure of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is one of the most important in the history of painting. He became from a very young age the most outstanding in the city,frequently commissioned by both private individuals and institutions. In a very religious Seville, his work reached the grade of outstanding thanks to his ability to show with his brushes a kind and daily vision of the divine, favoring the encounter with God through the contemplation of his creations. Upon discovering his production, we can affirm that Murillo is still today one of the finest evangelisers and catechists, because no one like him knew how to grasp how art is a privileged channel for prayer and learning.
The Collegiate Church of the Divino Salvador is a fundamental place to understand the history of Seville. Its most defining characteristic is its sacred nature, as it has been, for centuries, a space where various civilisations and cultures that passed through Sevilla have engaged in religious activity. This tour invites us to see how each of these cultures has played a central role in the city’s history, in a first part of the visit that will take place in the crypt; to later, inside the temple, recognize the former Collegiate Church of the Divine Savior, as one of the epicenters of the Sevillian Christian faith, because it combines the colossal visual catechesis through the artistic splendor that emerges, with the popular roots of this space through the important devotions that are venerated.
