Barrio de Triana.Capilla del Patrocinio

The Sevillian religious brotherhood called the Santisimo Cristo de la Expiracion Nuestra Senora del Patrocinio use this church as their headquarters and carry the statues from here during the Easter Week processions. You'll find the expressively carved sculpture of Cristo de la Expiracion popularly known as El Cachorro (the puppy), by Francisco Antonio Gijon 1682 in here. The simple baroque chapel has a single nave with a half-barrel vault and a raised choir area. The original altarpiece, painted and covered in gold leafy motifs, along with various other interesting artistic images of the saints remain. The museum adjacent to the church houses a collection of religious ornaments and the Easter Week floats.
