Capilla de los Marineros

This guide to Capilla de los Marineros in Seville begins with an unlikely encounter: on the rain-drenched dawn of the 1995 Madrugá, two rival Virgins ended up facing each other outside Seville's cathedral. It backs up first to the whitewashed chapel's oddly restless past, built in the 1750s for a sailors' guild, later an Anglican church, then a theatre, cabaret, cinema and warehouse, before the Esperanza de Triana returned home in 1962 to the fishermen and sailors who had long carried her in procession.
