Cádiz - South Side

Along Cádiz's southern sea-wall extends a long avenue, the Campo del Sur. A little way along this, on the left, is a former Capuchin convent, now a psychiatric hospital. In the conventual church of Santa Catalina (begun 1639; entrance through courtyard), on the high altar, is Murillo's last work, the ''Mystic Marriage of St. Catherine''. While painting this he fell from the scaffolding and died of his injuries in Seville on April third 1682. The church also has an early work of his.
