As faith declines in Spain, so do Seville's convents

Clip: 4/14/2017 | 7m 8s

In Spain, the decline of cloistered life is on full display in the city's dying convents.

Everywhere you turn in Seville, Spain, there are reminders of a rich religious past, including its cloistered convents, which have been part of the fabric of the community for hundreds of years. Yet few women in Spain heed the call to join the sisterhood anymore, and once-bustling communities are now the victims of decay. Jeffrey Brown reports on efforts to save the endangered convents.
