Seville - Alameda de Hércules

To the left of the Puerta de la Macarena can be found the Basílica Macarena, with an image of the Virgen de la Macarena by Pedro Roldán. In a museum attached to the church are displayed the jewels and ornaments with which the image is decked on special occasions, together with the costumes worn by celebrated bullfighters.

To the west of the Alameda de Hércules in Seville stands the church of San Lorenzo, with a beautiful high altar by Montañés and a much venerated figure of Christ, Nuestro Señor del Gran Poder (by Juan de Mesa), in a side chapel.

On the north side of the old town of Seville, between the Puerta de Córdoba and the Puerta de la Macarena, extends a considerable stretch of the old town walls, built on Roman foundations.
