San Marcos is one of the most beautiful of Mudejar churches. Presiding over the gothic archivolts is the central figure of the Eternal Father. The slender tower is 22 meters high. Its upper part is decorated with the typical diamond-shaped patterns of Muslim minarets and filigreed windows whose size and complexity of design gradually decrease towards the ground. In 1603 Vermondo Resta added the bell tower. In 1470 supporters of the Count of Arcos burnt the church during their feuds with the Count of Niebla and the Duke of Medina Sidonia. This event illustrates the constant fighting that took place during the 14th and 15th centuries between the two most powerful noble families of Seville. In 1936, the church was again burnt and remained closed for worship until 1970. |
