Ermita San José
Shrine to San José

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.

Iglesia de San Vicente
Church of San Vicente

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.

Convento de San Francisco (Cementerio Municipal)
San Francisco Monastery (Municipal Cemetery)

The foundation of the monastery was promoted by Enrique Enriquez, Comendador Mayor of the Order of Santiago of the Province of Leon (maternal uncle of Don Fernando el Católico and grandson of Don Fabrique Enriquez and a Jewess from Guadalcanal nicknamed "La Paloma") and his wife Doña Maria de Luna, on a trip they made to Guadalcanal in 1489.

Church of Santa Catalina

Like other parishes in Seville, its origin dates back to the Reconquest of the town. It is located on the same site as a Roman temple, on which a Visigothic church and later a mosque were built. It is a Gothic-Mudejar type of church, although it was modified during the 17th and 18th centuries.
