The Church of Saint Louis of France (Spanish: Iglesia de San Luis de los Franceses), located in the historic district of Seville, Spain, represents an example of Baroque architecture in the 18th century. The church was designed by the architect Leonardo of Figueroa and constructed between 1699 and 1731 on behalf of the Jesuits.[1][2] Following the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain in 1835, it had different uses and was eventually deconsecrated. The building currently belongs to the Provincial Council of Seville [es].
