Écija-Iglesia de San Juan
San Juan Church

San Juan Church has an elongated and irregular nave with a transept and flat apse. This results from the merger of two adjacent chapels in the late eighteenth century, the Sacramental Chapel and the old Jesus the Nazarene Chapel, which survived the demolition of the earlier church. 

Iglesia Parroquial del Divino Salvador
Divino Salvador Parish Church

The parish church, originally small in size, was built in the early 17th century. The church was named the Parish Church of Nuestro Señor San Salvador. Rebuilding work began in 1774. The new building, with a greater capacity than the previous one, was finished three years later.

Iglesia de San Gil
San Gil Church

A rectangular church with three naves divided into five sections, separated by pointed arches on pillars. It is in 15th-century Mudejar-style, although it was renovated and extended in the second half of the 18th century. The Sacramental Chapel from around 1727 is transversely attached to the left side of the building. The image of the Christ of Health is venerated in this chapel.

Sanlúcar la Mayor. Fachada de la Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor
Parish Church of Santa María la Mayor

The Church of Santa María la Mayor is in the Mudejar style and was built in the 13th century, with additions from the 16th and 17th centuries. The church consists of three naves covered with alfarje roofs (Mudejar roofs) and separated by horseshoe arches supported by pillars and four paired columns.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Consolación
Our Lady of Consolation Church

This church was part of the former convent of the Franciscan Third Order. A large building that was used as barracks after the confiscation by Mendizábal, and later, in 1952, a school run by Piarist fathers.

Fuentes de Andalucía-Santa María la Blanca
Santa María la Blanca Parish Church

Its construction began in the late 16th century, under the direction of Diego López de Arenas. Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which severely damaged the building, the master-builder Alonso Ruiz Florindo renovated the entire complex. The most eye-catching feature of its main portal is the recessed stretcher bond brickwork.

Iglesia del Convento del Espíritu Santo
Espíritu Santo Conventual Church

The church was the former convent of the Priests of the Holy Spirit. It has been argued that the community of the Holy Spirit was established in the mid-16th century. A congregation of priests operated the Home for Foundlings lived in the convent until its secularisation in the 19th century. The Sisters of the Cross have occupied the convent since 1939.
