Almadén de la Plata. Cascada de los Venados con tres animales
Cascada de los Venados

This sculpture is a tribute to the large deer population found in the town. Indeed, Almadén is a tourist attraction during the Berrea (rut) and the Monterías (hound hunting). Made by the sculptor Jaime Mate Gallego, it is located opposite the Fuente del Águila.

Convento de San Sebastián
San Sebastián Convent

The building from the early 18th century has a Latin cross plan divided into five sections and chapels between the inner buttresses. The Sacristy is located at the apse next to the Epistle side. The three-level tower and spire are situated at the west end of this same side.

Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Purísima Concepción Church

This temple, opened in March 1769, was the first building constructed in this village. Due to the epidemic of “Tercianas” or malaria, the church was used as a hospital for men and renamed “Juan Bautista Alvitt”.

It is a typical baroque church built during Pablo de Olavide’s repopulation initiative under King Carlos III.

Fuentes de Andalucia-Iglesia Conventual de San José
San José Conventual Church

It was founded by the Mercedarian Fathers in the early 17th century. The Church was later occupied by the Salesian Fathers and finally placed under the custody of the Archdiocese. The portal on the west front was made by Juan Ruiz Florindo. The San José Church boasts an 18th-century high altar by the Ecijan sculptor Martín de Toledo.

Capilla del Hospital San Juan de Dios
San Juan de Dios Hospital Chapel

In the pedestrian high street of the town, Mesones Street, stands this Chapel of the old Charity Hospital, now a nursing home run by the Mercedarian Sisters. 

Iglesia de San Francisco
San Francisco Church

Originally a 15th-century Gothic building, the appearance was significantly altered in the 17th and 18th centuries to become a baroque-neoclassical Church. The central nave is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, the side naves with a groin vault and the presbytery by a dome on pendentives.

El Pedroso. Cruz del Humilladero
Cruz del Humilladero

The mid-16th century, white granite Cruz del Humilladero stands out for its height of almost five metres. It has a Crucified Christ sculpted on one side and a Pietà on the other. A major restoration and cleaning operation was carried as it had been covered with algae and lichen over time.
