Parroquia de Santa Ana
The Parroquia de Santa Ana, dating from 1280, has a wealth of antique religious imagery. A strange tradition has it that every woman who kicks ‘El Negro’, a 16th-century tomb that has tiles depicting a recumbent knight, will find a husband. Poor El Negro has been protected by benches and other obstacles to prevent damage to this precious artwork, but women still want husbands so El Negro keeps getting a stiletto where it hurts.

Conjunto Monumental de la Cartuja
Founded in 1399, the Conjunto Monumental de la Cartuja became the favourite sevillano lodging place for Columbus, King Felipe II and other luminaries. In 1839 the complex was bought by a Liverpudlian, Charles Pickman, who turned it into a porcelain factory, building the tall bottle-shaped kilns that stand incongruously beside the monastery buildings.
