About this audio guide
This guide to the Parroquia de San Pedro Apóstol in Seville follows a single line in the parish's baptismal register from June 1599, naming an infant who would become the painter Diego Velázquez. It traces the priest, the godfather and the family's Moorish-quarter home, and the Mudéjar tower already old when they walked through its door. Look for the stone font near the entrance as you listen.
