Lonely Planet review for Iglesia del Cristo de la Expiración
Triana has several diverse and important churches and chapels. Among the most important is the Iglesia del Cristo de la Expiración, which houses a much loved figure of the dead Christ, dating from 1682, that takes an honoured place in Seville's Semana Santa processions. The image is known as El Cachorro (The Puppy): sculptor Antonio Ruiz Gijón was reputedly inspired by the agonised body of a gitano singer of that name who had died in a fight in this street.
