The entrance arch dates from 1782. At the top, we are welcomed by an image of San Francisco. This arch was the entrance to the convent of San Pedro el Real, one of the 14 Christian churches founded by Ferdinand III after the conquest of Cordoba.
The convent of San Pedro housed Franciscan monks until the mid-19th century. After the confiscation, it was sold and had the curious function of housing a weaving factory inside.
Today it is the parish church of San Francisco and San Eulogio. Like others, the alterations and additions of later centuries camouflage the medieval part of the building. The façade is Baroque, dating from the 18th century, and its niche features San Fernando, the so-called holy king who founded this and 13 other churches.
One of the most beautiful remaining parts of the old convent, which was finally restored in 2007, is the cloister, built in the 17th century, to the left of the church.
Inside, there is an important collection of paintings, especially the Head of Saint Andrew, the first known work by Valdés Leal, and the carving of the Crucified Lord (17th century).
