The emblematic Church of El Salvador, located in the heart of Seville, will become the stage for an unprecedented immersive experience. Starting Thursday, June 18th, the temple will open its doors each night to host 'De Angelis', a sensory spectacle designed to rediscover the space through light and sound.
According to information from the Cathedral of Seville, the proposal aims to "reveal the angelic presence that has always inhabited this sacred space" through an intimate dialogue between light elements and architecture. The goal is for attendees to contemplate the temple, its vaults, and altarpieces, from a new perspective, brought to life by subtle light projections and an enveloping soundtrack of sacred music and original compositions.
Beyond the technical display, 'De Angelis' offers a spiritual and artistic itinerary focused on three devotional and artistic pillars of the temple: The Virgin of the Waters, the Eucharist, and the Transfiguration. The experience seeks to be a journey between the visible and the invisible, exploring the mystery and glory announced by angels.
The show will take place every Thursday at 10:00 PM, with performances initially scheduled for June. Tickets, priced at 20 euros plus 1 euro in management fees, are now available for purchase on the Cathedral of Seville website. The approximate duration of the visit is one hour, although times and days may be subject to change due to extraordinary events.
The Collegiate Church of the Divine Savior holds significant historical and cultural importance within the Archdiocese of Seville. Its origins date back to its dedication by King Ferdinand III. Following its deterioration, the Chapter of the Collegiate Church ordered its demolition and reconstruction in 1671. The church has been repurposed by various cultures, including Roman, Visigothic, and Arab, before being transformed into a Christian church after the Christian conquest in 1248. It was declared a National Monument of Historical Artistic Interest on February 5th, 1985, and is classified with Integral Protection (letter A) in Seville's General Plan.
