Located in the north-west of Seville's historic centre, San Vicente is bordered by the Guadalquivir River to the west and Alameda de Hércules to the east and is home to some of Seville's best known churches and convents. Around the charming, orange tree-lined Plaza de San Lorenzo are the churches of San Lorenzo and the Basilica del Gran Poder - where you will find the moving and much revered image of Christ carrying the cross, known as Cristo del Gran Poder.
The monastery of San Clemente is said to be the oldest in Seville. It was founded in 1248 by Ferdinand III and is the final resting place of several members of royal families, including Maria of Portugal - the mother of Pedro the Cruel, who built the Alcázar. Convents in the neighbourhood include Santa Clara and Santa Rosalía.
