For fans of early music the Capilla de la Virgen de la Antigua in Seville's cathedral is the ultimate place of pilgrimage. Not only are Francisco Guerrero and Alonso Lobo buried here, but it also preserves a 15th-century fresco of the Virgin Mary for which a 'Salve' was sung for centuries. The music collection intended for this purpose opens with Josquin des Prez's Salve Regina. Stile Antico pairs this queenly piece with other Spanish Marian motets.
