Feria

Seville, beautiful and diverse

The Shrine to Our Lady of Consolation of Calvary was built in the 1990s. It is located about 8 kilometres from Osuna on the Martín de la Jara road, in a mountain area known as “El Calvario”, as it is next to a forest and the ruins of a former convent of the Recollects of the same name.

Marchena’s San Sebastián Church was built outside the walled compound. It was initially intended as a Shrine to Saint Sebastian, the town’s patron saint.

The present-day Shrine to Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas or Cuatrohabitan, is built on the site of an Almohad mosque, of which only the minaret remains. It was adapted for Christian worship following the Reconquest.

It was initially built in the 16th century as a Shrine to Our Lady of Grace. It was home to the Augustinian Order until they moved to the current Convent of San Agustín circa 1616. From 1670 to 1780, it was an all-girls school run by the Beatas Educandas de Santa Isabel.

Both buildings share spaces and relevant architectural details. 

 

Town Hall.

The building is the work of the famous Sevillian architect Aníbal González. The graceful dome from the Shrine to San Juan de Letrán, demolished in 1942, is integrated into the structure. Some records show that the Shrine already existed in 1527.

 

The Ermita de San Marcos was built over the remains of an old oratory. The construction works began in 1840 and ended in 1845. It was completely renovated and reopened on 15 October 1994. 

The Shrine to San José Obrero was built in 1994 in near the Roya spring. Plan a visit to St Joseph during the Estepa’s Pilgrimage on 1 May.
