Seville enchants

This former church of the Society of Jesus dates from the 17th century. When the Jesuits left, the convent was abandoned, and the church was stripped of its most interesting works. The main altarpiece was found in the parish of El Saucejo. The entire church became the property of the State -hence the epithet Real.

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

This brick masonry building consists of a single nave divided into five sections and a quadrangular main chapel. A square chapel is attached to the right side, and the Sacramental Chapel is on the Epistle side.

The two-level, ashlar tower capped with a pyramidal spire is on the Gospel wall.
 

Estepa’s keep or donjon is an albarrana tower built by the master-builder Santiaguista Lorenzo Suárez de Figueroa in the late 14th and early 15th century.

The temple is somewhat removed from the town’s walled historic quarters. When it was built in the 15th century, it was meant to be a shrine to the Archangel St Michael.

Although it has a core area that is Mudejar, it has undergone multiple renovations, especially in the 18th century, when the choir’s side chapels were added.

The Palace of the Marquis de la Gomera is the most exceptional in Osuna. This 18th-century building by Juan Antonio Blanco was built circa 1770.

The church is thought to have been built in the 14th century under King Pedro I, the Cruel. It was built over a former mosque, the minaret of which remains. It was further enhanced with new elements in the 15th, 16th and 18th centuries.
