Écija-Iglesia de los Descalzos
Concepción Church (Los Descalzos)

This church is considered one of the most significant Baroque buildings in the province of Seville and a jewel of Ecijan Baroque. The Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora Church (Los Descalzos) was renovated between 2006 and 2009, under the “Baroque Andalusia” programme of the Andalusian Government. The church had remained closed for 30 years until then.

Ermita de Nuestro Padre Jesús de Nazareno
Shrine to Nuestro Padre Jesús el Nazareno

The Shrine is located on Jesus Street. This small building was rebuilt in 1888 according to a plaque on the west front.

It has a single altarpiece in the apse, decorated with baroque motifs that have been restored.

Écija-Iglesia de San Juan
San Juan Church

San Juan Church has an elongated and irregular nave with a transept and flat apse. This results from the merger of two adjacent chapels in the late eighteenth century, the Sacramental Chapel and the old Jesus the Nazarene Chapel, which survived the demolition of the earlier church. 

Iglesia Parroquial del Divino Salvador
Divino Salvador Parish Church

The parish church, originally small in size, was built in the early 17th century. The church was named the Parish Church of Nuestro Señor San Salvador. Rebuilding work began in 1774. The new building, with a greater capacity than the previous one, was finished three years later.

Iglesia Parroquial San Cristóbal Mártir
San Cristóbal Mártir Parish Church

From the road connecting Burguillos with Seville, Calle Real climbs up a hill through the centre of the town. San Cristóbal Mártir Parish Church stands at the highest point of the town. This Mudéjar-style church has a baroque-style bell gable. San Cristóbal Mártir Parish Church is dedicated to Saint Christopher the Martyr, one of the town’s patron saints.

Iglesia Parroquial Matriz de Santa María Magdalena
St Mary Magdalene Parish Mother Church

A large ancient temple whose history is essentially undocumented. It was extensively renovated in baroque-style between 1733 and 1765.

In the 20th century, during the violent events in 1936, the Church suffered significant damages due to an arson attack and had to be rebuilt later.
