0 geogphotos Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Look at the sequence of pictures and their timings - what happened before and just after. That might help remind yourself of something about this picture. Sometimes I go back to the RAWS and looks at the exact timings of pictures along a route that I remember walking, But usually I can remember locations like this really clearly - my 'geographic' brain I suppose.

0 Mr Standfast Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 As Ian says. I've re-walked throuh locations using street view to find where I've been before. I've looked at the heraldry, nothing jumps out. (the top is party per fes, cross argent on gulles,, sort off, approximatelyish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Good idea, guys. If I were in Seville, I could walk right to it. But I fear that finding it on Google Maps will not give me the name of the building or ID it. Edited February 9, 2021 by Ed Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mr Standfast Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Edo, can you remember a few places buildings land marks you visited that day? Post them and we'll have a go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) As I said, James, I could walk to it if I were in Seville. It's west of the Hercules park near the river. But I can't spend the rest of my days doing a Google Maps walk around the complex city of Seville. A red cross on a white shield means the Knights Templar. White on red? Don't know. As far as digging back into RAW files . . . can't do that and it wouldn't help. Even if I find the building on a map, it won't help with a tag. I don't recall that building having an ID. What I really need to know for a tag is this: What is the meaning of a white cross on a red shield in Andalusia?

0 Vincent Lowe Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Possibly the coat of arms of the Royal, Celestial and Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy and the Redemption of Captives (La Orden Real y Militar de Nuestra Señora de la Merced y la Redención de los Cautivos) – also known as the Mercedarians. https://tallinnmuseum.com/2020/04/30/spanish-badges/ https://nobility.org/2013/09/02/military-orders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Allan Bell Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Which points to the place you are looking for could be a convent or big church. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr Standfast Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Some more on the cross. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Cross_pattée Its a cross pattee with convex ends. Never seen that on AOA! A street view wander of the backstreets of Seville is interesting but very different for a UK city, very very dense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Vicente! You are a Prince among men! I shall recommend you to lead a company or perhaps a regiment in the next crusade. We'll be taking on the Trumpian Republicans. No politics, of course. Just war. And Allan, I half remembered that it was the side entrance of a large church. But the memory was vague. And 1218 is a little before my time. A great and beautiful city, James—but street after narrow street that look the same. If I had been able to remain in Spain, I would have moved to Malaga or Valencia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 wiskerke Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 After the clues of the others it was really easy. Not many Merced things between Hercules and the river. It is on one of those nice back streets to the river Guadalquivir. Called Calle Guadalquivir: Guadalquivir Street. Maybe Ed went to have lunch at Casa Manolo León across the street. It could well be Manolo in his image. I have not eaten there, but it is 108 out of 2500 restaurants in Seville. Wow! did I miss a great interior: https://goo.gl/maps/JEZ6JrmxHan8RaAx7 Next time. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mr Standfast Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) A stroll down Calle Guadalquivir finds this door. Google captured 2019 slightly different decoration but its the same. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4000364,-5.9976579,3a,75y,259.57h,86.76t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sluXNoq5D2FHdkn5ppoSFWw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 (Wim is a Jedi!)

0 Ed Rooney Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 I passed it twice in my virtual map search! Wim is much too kind and helpful to work for the CIA. That I do know. I planned a lunch at Casa Manolo. But like many other things in Seville, I didn't get it done. My rental flat was at the south end of the Hercules. Here's my favourite 'waiter' in the city. .

0 Ed Rooney Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 "I planned a lunch at Casa Manolo. But like many other things in Seville, I didn't get it done." Talk about posh! Manolo Leon is it. The waiter at the door was certainly from there. I walked all the Calle in my hood, Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
