Our take
San Isidoro del Campo is one of Seville's great unknowns: it sits in Santiponce next to Itálica and holds 15th-century murals, works by Martínez Montañés and the story of the Bear Bible, the first Spanish translation of the Bible. With a private guide you see why it was the first protected monument in Seville. It's one of the most affordable private visits in Seville: €89 each for two and €69 each for four. It fits perfectly if you're visiting Itálica the same day, as they're next door.
