Capilla de los Marineros, in Seville, is located in the district of Triana. Holy See of the Brotherhood of Esperanza de Triana, this is home to the venerated Virgen de la Esperanza de Triana. Go to Pureza street, where you will find her.
The Capilla de los Marineros (literally, “Chapel of the Sailors”) is a Catholic church located in the neighbourhood of Triana, in Seville, Spain. It is just two minutes walk from the Church of Santa Ana. This is the Holy See of the Brotherhood of Esperanza de Triana. The image of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza de Triana (“Our Lady of Hope of Triana”) is found on her Altarpiece. Trianeros and Sevilians are very devotees of her.
Its white and yellow facade shines on its own merit on Pureza Street. An image of the Immaculate Conception in fired clay watches every passer-by. Inside, the spectacular ceiling of the chapel is made of red pine wood and carved ornaments. The central glass lamp dates from the nineteenth century.
The chapel had many purposes throughout history prior to be as we know it today. It was an Anglican church, a theatre, a cabaret, a cinema and a warehouse. However, it was acquired in 1940 by the Brotherhood of the Esperanza de Triana.
The Capilla de los Marineros is divided in three naves. The Altarpiece can be located on the central nave, in baroque style, where the Virgen de la Esperanza de Triana can be found. In the nave of the Epistle we find the image of the Santísimo Cristo de la Humildad y Paciencia (“Holy Christ of Humility and Patience”), in Neo-Baroque style. Finally, in the Gospel nave, the Santísimo Cristo de las Tres Caídas (“Holy Christ of the Three Falls”) is venerated, also in neo-baroque style.
If you are a devotee of the Virgen de la Esperanza de Triana, go to hear some of the Masses that are celebrated in Capilla de los Marineros. They are usually held at 20:30 in winter time and at 21:00 in summer time. On holidays throughout the year they are held at 13:00.

You will have the opportunity to get to know a place of great value not only for the Triana district, but for the entire city of Seville.
