Parish of the O
It has its origins in a chapel consecrated to Saints Justa, Rufina and Brigida, where the Brotherhood of the Virgin of the O was established in 1566.
Parish of the O
In the last years of the XVII century, and due to the reduced dimensions of the chapel and its poor state of conservation, it was decided to build a new temple, beginning the works in 1697 under the direction of the master builders Pedro and Felix Romero, sons of the then Master of the Archbishopric Factories, Pedro Romero, author of the project. Actually the direction of the works was carried out by the first of the sons, Pedro, leaving Felix as director of the architectural ornamentation.
In the works also intervened in the construction of the building.
In the works also intervened other important characters, such as Antonio Gil Gataón, who worked the cover and columns, and the then official mason Diego Antonio Diaz, son-in-law of Pedro Romero and his successor then in the works of the Archbishopric as Senior Master of the same. The church was finished in 1702. It acquired the condition of parish seat, being the only one in Seville erected as such in a privately owned temple, since it belongs to the Brotherhood and not to the Diocese. This church, like so many others in the city, suffered a major despoilment in 1936.
