Monasterio de Santa Paula

This guide to the Monasterio de Santa Paula in Seville follows Ana de Santillan, who founded the convent in the early 1470s for nuns of the order of Saint Jerome, and the church built over the next decades by sculptor Pedro Millan and tile-maker Niculoso Pisano. You'll hear how the cloistered sisters have tended a garden of citrus and jasmine ever since, turning the harvest into marmalade and jam sold without a shop or a till. Look for the bell beside the wall as you approach the church facade.
