The quarters to the north side of the historical centre, enclosed by the wall and Calle Feria, are made up of a complex and irregular network of narrow streets which are Islamic in origin. Corrales, humble dwellings and family houses mingle with Mudejar parish churches built on the remains of mosques, like San Marcos, Santa Marina and San Gil, convents such as those of El Socorro, Santa Isabel, and Santa Paula, or palaces such as El Pumarejo, Los Marqueses de Algaba and Las Dueñas. These streets, which have seen times of trouble, popular insurrections (Pendón Verde in 1521), and uprisings (Mutiny of Feria in 1652), and were the centre of so-called "Red Seville" in the early 20th century, retain their traditional and popular flavour. Here, with laughter and cries, people welcome the beautiful image of the Macarena Virgin every Easter Friday. |
