Arquillo de la O
Arquillo de la O stands in Seville’s Triana district, beside the church of La O. The brick arch marks an entrance near one of the neighbourhood’s historic passages.
Built in 1832 under King Ferdinand VII, the structure joined an iron gate to a practical gateway. Seville’s city council funded the work, while architect Melchor Cano supervised its construction. Triana’s flamenco, pottery and religious traditions give this modest passage a wider setting, shaped by the district’s identity across the river.
A plaque above the arch records its completion on 17 July 1832 and names José Manuel de Arjona, Cayetano Ruiz del Hoyo, Felipe Gutiérrez and Miguel Bandarán. Its plain brickwork and ironwork show how everyday urban infrastructure can preserve a precise moment in Seville’s growth.
