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.

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.

Dulce Nombre de Jesús Church

The Dulce Nombre de Jesús Church is Algamitas’ parish church. The building consists of a single nave with attached pilasters dividing the sections. On the left side are two chapels. The old barrel roof with lunettes over the nave and the dome in the ante-chancel were replaced with a flat ceiling with plaster panels. The current building and the images preserved inside are contemporary.

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.

Nuestra Señora de Consolación Parish Church

The construction of the building took place in three different periods. The first was between the 14th and 15th centuries, when a Mudejar church was built with three naves, a polygonal apse and a façade-tower. The second stage began in 1538, when part of the previous work was demolished and the construction of a new Renaissance-type temple began, but this was never completed.
