Calle Mesón del Moro, 6 · Seville
A restaurant in the heart of Seville's Santa Cruz quarter
Between the Giralda and the Royal Alcázar, on a cobbled lane of the old Jewish quarter. Italian cooking inside 12th-century Arab baths.
On Calle Mesón del Moro
San Marco Santa Cruz is at number 6, Calle Mesón del Moro, in the heart of the Santa Cruz quarter, Seville's historic centre. This is the old Jewish quarter: narrow cobbled lanes, patios behind wrought-iron grilles and small squares that smell of orange blossom.
The street is named after our building. In the 12th century it was Arab baths; under the Catholic Monarchs, an inn for the Mudéjar merchants passing through Seville; and since 1991 it has been our restaurant. You eat beneath horseshoe arches and a vault with star-shaped openings, a short stroll from the Giralda.

Nine centuries in the same quarter
Before it was a restaurant, this building was a bathhouse, an inn, a lodging house and a stable. It keeps a trace of each one: the stars in the vault, the arches, the millstones on the façade.
