Utrera. Capilla de San Francisco vista desde la PLaza del Altozano
San Francisco “El Nuevo” Chapel

The Jesuits came to Utrera and founded a convent with a school. The Rodrigo Caro School stands now on that site. All that remains is this church, known as St Francis the New, the sacristy and the meeting room.

Carmona-Iglesia Prioral de Santa María de la Asunción y su Exposición Permanente
Santa María de la Asunción Priory Church and Permanent Exhibition

This Priory Church is the epitome of Carmona’s religious architecture and the town’s largest building.
The earlier Almohad mosque was demolished in 1424 to build the Christian temple, the first phase of which was completed in 1518. The ablutions courtyard remains.

El Pedroso. Ermita de la Virgen del Espino con árboles delante
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Espino

This small Mudejar church has a typical mountain architecture consisting of a single nave with transversal arches and a standalone main chapel. The chapel is covered with a dome crowned by a cupola that was added during the Baroque period. The main entrance, at the west end, is also Baroque. The pointed arch on the right wall, obscured by several adjacent rooms, is Mudejar.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Socorro
Church of Nuestra Señora del Socorro

Located in the upper part of the town, we cannot state with certainty its year of construction, as there are no data or records on it. From the church's death records, we can assume that the date of construction was between 1660 and 1670.

Estepa-Torre de la Victoria
Torre de la Victoria

Listed as a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC)

This large, 40-metre tall tower was built in 1760-1766 as part of the Victoria Church in Estepa (Seville). The Convent was home to a community of the Order of the Minimal Fathers of Saint Francis of Paola since 1562. 

Ermita de Nuestro Padre Jesús
Nuestro Padre Jesús Church

This Church was initially a former shrine dedicated to Jesus the Nazarene. The temple was already a derelict ruin in 1721. Five years later, the titular image of the parish church was transferred to demolish the building and build a new one.

Arahal-Iglesia de San Roque
San Roque Church

This Baroque temple, built by the Franciscan Order of Alcantara, was consecrated on 3 May 1624. In 1837, following the confiscation of church properties ordered by Mendizábal, the religious community abandoned the convent, taking with them the artworks they had collected over the years. Part of the former convent now belonged to the State, and was used as barracks for the Guardia Civil.
