Seville enchants

The Shrine takes its name from the patron saint of the town, San Sebastian. Nonetheless, there are documents from 1635 that show that this chapel belonged to the Count-Duke of Olivares. The date of construction is unknown, although it is believed to have been in the 17th century.

La Puebla de Cazalla had several shrines in the 19th century. Shrines were usually built on the outskirts of towns, near the main access roads. They survived thanks to donations from the faithful and devotees of the saints to whom the shrines were dedicated.

In the early 18th century, the Hermandad del Rosario, which was originally established in the parish church of Santa María, went into decline, which it overcame thanks to the efforts of the Venerable Simón el Ermitaño, who died in 1711 and was responsible for the construction of this chapel, dedicated to San Vicente Ferrer.

On the site now occupied by the parish church, the former Muslim fortress of the Almohad period was built, the only remaining feature of which is a small piece of wall, located next to the sanctuary of the church, which has a pointed horseshoe arch framed by an alfiz.

This Church was initially a small shrine dedicated to the True Cross. Following its decline in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it was used as accommodation for travelling soldiers. Now, it is one of the most outstanding baroque churches in the province.

This is a Mudejar building with three naves with modern roofs and a main chapel with ribbed vaults. In the left nave there is a doorway built over a semicircular arch.

The Chapel, built in the mid-20th century, is located in the village of Arroyo de la Plata. It is dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, highly revered in this village. A small, stone bell tower was added later to announce the festivals, pilgrimages and other events.
