The Church of San Pedro, Carmona, Spain, 2007. With its majestic steeple and bell towers, this church stands near the Gate of Seville, outside of the city walls. The sacramental chapel in the epistle aisle is extremely beautiful; its lovely altarpiece of the Virgen de la Merced, by the artist Francisco de Ocampo, was destroyed by fire in 1984. The church was begun in the 15th century, and remodelled in the Baroque period, with the addition of many new elements.
