About this audio guide
This guide to the Real Parroquia de Santa Ana in Seville follows a signed, dated ceramic tile from 1503 marking a tomb beneath the church, and the name on it, Iñigo Lopez, that carries no title or trade to explain who he was. You'll hear how Triana's young women once struck the tile seven times hoping for a husband, and how a nineteenth-century tale grew up around it naming the buried man an enslaved victim of a marquis. The guide weighs that story against what the tile itself actually shows him wearing.
