This church in Plaza de San Lorenzo was built in 1965 to house the iconic Cristo del Gran Poder statue. The statue, made in 1620, is carried through the neighborhood streets on Good Friday during the city’s famous Holy Week processions. The church mixes Renaissance and Baroque styles and has a colorful façade typical of Sevilla. You can often hear the bells of the belfry throughout the neighborhood.
