The Oratory of San Felipe Neri is one of the few elliptical plan temples of Andalusian Baroque architecture.
It was built between 1685 and 1719 by the work of Blas Díaz. Previously it belonged to the original oratory of the Filipenses.
Its main altarpiece dates from the mid-18th century, featuring an Immaculate Conception by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (also considered one of his best works).
In 1907, it was declared a Historic Artistic Monument. It gained this recognition for being the seat of the Cortes that drafted the Constitution of 1812. It also preserves several commemorative plaques on its exterior from this event.
After the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, whose effects were also felt in Spain, its double-section ridged dome with eight windows was devastated. This was rebuilt eight years later by the master Pedro Luis Gutiérrez de San Martín.
In this Oratory, the investitures of new Ladies and Knights of the Royal Meritorious Institution of the Hospitaller Knights of San Juan take place. These ceremonies occur twice a year, since 1807, with one held on the day of the Immaculate Conception and another on that of San Juan.
Built: 17th - 18th Centuries.
