Palacio de San Telmo de Sevilla.
Schools are the protagonists in the election days. Throwing back the look, we find some distinguished buildings that once fulfilled this function. Surprising in some cases.
One is the Palace of San Telmo, now seat of the President of the Junta de Andalucía. The works for its construction began on March 10, 1682 on the grounds of the Tribunal of the Inquisition located outside the city walls, where up-and well thought school-seminar at the University of Merchants were in fact. It was an institution where sailors would come orphans and a century later became the Colegio de la Marina.
Archivo General de Indias de Sevilla.
Not far from here we find one of the most recognizable buildings in Seville and, of course, of which major historical and artistic value contribute to the monumental core of the city. This is the Archivo de Indias, declared a World Heritage Site along with the Cathedral and the Real Alcazar.
Iglesia de San Hermenegildo de Sevilla.
Finally, we have another famous school in the center of Seville, among other uses, became provisional seat of the Parliament of Andalusia and strategic scenario of more random episodes of the city, like the French invasion in the early nineteenth century. The former convent (and school) of San Hermenegildo, the Plaza de la Concordia, only their church is preserved, as deconsecrated and used as an exhibition hall. Once it helped the Jesuits carry out their teaching.
