The church is located in the uppermost part of the town, on the old street commonly known as El Porche. It has now been renamed as Don Juan de Dios Corrales Gálvez, who was the parish priest for fifty-three years. This beautiful baroque church from the 16th century was once a small chapel or private oratory of the Counts of Gelves.

The foundations date back to 1500. The Gothic floor plan consists of three naves covered with rib vaults. Parts of the Church are Neoclassical (18th century).

It is one of the most significant buildings due to its architectural features.

Écija-Palacio de Peñaflor
Palace of the Marquises of Peñaflor

The Palace of the Marquises of Peñaflor, built between 1700 and 1775, is one of the greatest exponents of Ecija’s civil baroque architecture. Known as the palace of the “long balconies”, its striking curved façade –over 60 metres long- follows the layout of the street. Its veranda is painted with trompe l’oeil of architectural features, false windows and figures.
