Guided tour of Arcos de la Frontera

Sevillano Wall Tile

Where you are standing now

Now you find yourself on Maldonado Street, one of the most attractive streets in town. It has boasted some of the grandest houses, including one which was shamelessly demolished in 1919 only so its doors, façade and panelled ceiling could be sold. Walking down the side of St. Peter's church, about half way along, lift your eyes and you'll see a beautifully preserved sevillano wall tile from the 17th century. It shows the Virgin standing on a pedestal with a ship in her right hand and a child king cupped in the other hand. If you know more information about the wall tile please contact us. There's another wall tile around the corner which has suffered some damage over the years. Look out for it as we turn left, passing around the back of the church and towards our final destination on this tour.
