Iglesia-Convento de Santa María de la Encarnación e interior Iglesia de San Juan (Coín)

La iglesia-Convento de Santa María de la Encarnación es una obra datada en 1485 que fue levantada sobre una antigua mezquita. Está junto a la torre que fue el antiguo alminar, en sus dos primeros cuerpos, y que hoy es el campanario.
Fue la primera iglesia parroquial de Coín; y es que, tras ser el pueblo tomado por los Reyes Católicos, su primera decisión fue levantar esta iglesia. De hecho su nombre se debe a la reina Isabel la Católica, quien era muy devota de esta Virgen.
El Convento es de estilo mudéjar y perteneció a la orden de las Clarisas. Sin embargo, en el exterior se nota la influencia de los alarifes mozárabes. El interior presenta una planta de nave única con cúpula nervada y decoración de yesería.
En la época del Gobierno republicano fue la Casa del Pueblo, lo que le sirvió para ser uno de los pocos edificios que, de estas características, no fue destruido, aunque sus imágenes y ornamentos sí que lo fueron.
Hoy en día las instalaciones del Convento se utilizan como salas de exposición, contando con una sala etnográfica y varias arqueológicas, además de ubicarse la Universidad Popular y aprovecharse para celebrar diversos actos culturales.

Church-Convent of Santa María de la Encarnación
The Iglesia-Convento de Santa María de la Encarnación dates back to 1485 and was built on the site of an ancient mosque. It is next to the tower that was once a two-tiered minaret, which is today the belfry.
It was the first Parish church in Coin and was commissioned by the Reyes Católicos, immediately after the fall of Coin. Its name was chosen by Queen Isabel la Católica , as she was very devoted to this Virgin.
The convent is built in true Mudejar style and belonged to the Orden de las Clarisas. However, the influence of the Mozarabe leaders can still be seen on the exterior. On the inside, it has a simple one-nave layout with a ribbed dome and plasterwork decorations.
During the Republican Government it was turned into the Casa del Pueblo, which meant that it was one of the few buildings of its kind that was not totally destroyed, although the images and ornaments were.
Today, the Convent and its facilities are used as exhibition halls, as well as having special rooms that have been set apart for ethnographic and archaeological articles. It is also the headquarters of the Universidad Popular and is used to hold a wide range of cultural and artistic events.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Seville (; Spanish: Sevilla [seˈβiʎa] (listen)) is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Seville, Spain. It is situated on the plain of the river Guadalquivir. The inhabitants of the city are known as sevillanos (feminine form: sevillanas) or hispalenses, after the Roman name of the city, Hispalis. Seville has a municipal population of about 690,000 as of 2016, and a metropolitan population of about 1.5 million, making it the fourth-largest city in Spain and the 30th most populous municipality in the European Union. Its Old Town, with an area of 4 square kilometres (2 sq mi), contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alcázar palace complex, the Cathedral and the General Archive of the Indies. The Seville harbour, located about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean, is the only river port in Spain. Seville is also the hottest major metropolitan area in the geographical Southwestern Europe, with summer average high temperatures of above 35 °C (95 °F).
Seville was founded as the Roman city of Hispalis. It later became known as Ishbiliyya (Arabic: إشبيلية) after the Muslim conquest in 712. During the Muslim rule in Spain, Seville came under the jurisdiction of the Caliphate of Córdoba before becoming the independent Taifa of Seville; later it was ruled by the Muslim Almoravids and the Almohads until finally being incorporated into the Christian Kingdom of Castile under Ferdinand III in 1248. After the discovery of the Americas, Seville became one of the economic centres of the Spanish Empire as its port monopolised the trans-oceanic trade and the Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) wielded its power, opening a Golden Age of arts and literature. In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan departed from Seville for the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Coinciding with the Baroque period of European history, the 17th century in Seville represented the most brilliant flowering of the city's culture; then began a gradual economic and demographic decline as silting in the Guadalquivir forced the trade monopoly to relocate to the nearby port of Cádiz.
The 20th century in Seville saw the tribulations of the Spanish Civil War, decisive cultural milestones such as the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and Expo '92, and the city's election as the capital of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia.
