Monumental Site of San Isidoro del Campo

Virtual Visit to the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo
The Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo was founded in 1301 by Alonso Pérez de Guzmán and María Alonso Coronel in a place near the ruins of Italica where, according to tradition, Saint Isidoro of Seville was buried.
In 1432, the Hieronymite Order replaced the Cistercian Order, carrying out a profound reform of the monastery that was reflected in the concept of monastic life and substantially in the decoration. In the mid-16th century, a religious focus of a reformist nature arose in Seville, in which the monks of this monastery took part, leading to the imprisonment of several monks and the flight of others outside Spain, among them Casiodoro de Reina, author of the first translation of the Bible into Spanish, known as the Biblia del Oso (The Bear Bible).
During the Baroque period, this medieval centre was transformed with ashlars, new mural paintings, plaster vaults and altarpieces, including the main church by Martínez Montañés, in which we can admire the figure of San Jerónimo Penitente in the central street.
