Along with these typeswe can note the masters who concocted them and the celebrationswhich occurred. Among themhighlighting the feast celebrated,in 1671, for the canonization ofthe patron of the city, the kingSaint Ferdinand and also we candemonstrated the importance ofthe Seville Cathedral as a theater chosen for firework shows,which, once again, in the periodexamined, emerged as a symbolof the cultural identity of the capital of Andalucia.
