Art lovers should set aside at least a half day to explore one of Seville’s gems, the truly remarkable Museum of Fine Arts, which is home to priceless collections of some of Spain’s most notable artists such as Velázques, Zubarán, Murillo, and Juan de Mesa. The collection is housed in a delightful salmon-colored former convent dating back to the early 1700s that is a fine example of Andalusian mannerism and is well worth visiting in its own right. The permanent collection you can see today includes paintings, ceramics, decorative artworks, and sculptures and the museum regularly hosts travelling exhibitions. If you visit on a Sunday you can pick up a souvenir or two at the outdoor art market besides the front entrance, where local artists sell their work.
