Museo Bellas Artes

The Museum of Fine Arts of Seville or Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla is the most prominent collection of mainly Spanish visual arts from medieval period to the early twentieth century, including a choice selection of works from the so-called Golden Age of Sevillian painting during the 17th century, including Murillo, Zurbarán, Francisco de Herrera the younger, and Valdés Leal.

The museum was founded in 1839, after the desamortizacion or shuttering of religious monasteries and convents, collecting works from across the city and region. Originally, the site held the convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asuncion, founded by St. Peter Nolasco during the reign of Fernando III of Castile. Extensive remodeling in the early 17th century was led by the architect Juan de Oviedo y de la Bandera.
