Church of St. Ildephonse

This guide to the Church of St. Ildephonse in Seville starts at the 1248 siege of the city, when King Ferdinand the Third's battered royal standard came back to camp in ribbons and he chose to mend it himself. It follows how that story spread among the besieging soldiers and later reached Seville's tailors, who built a whole guild identity and a patroness, the Virgen de los Sastres, around it. Look for the tailors' own retablo inside this neoclassical church, rebuilt after the older parish fell to ruin.
