Marchena- Iglesia de San Miguel
San Miguel Church

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.

Iglesia Conventual de Santa Ana
Santa Ana Conventual Church

The chapel of Santa Ana in Dos Hermanas is a small temple attached to the Santa María Magdalena Church.

Ermita del Dulce Nombre de Jesús y Santa Misericordia
Shrine to the Dulce Nombre de Jesús y Santa Misericordia

During the Muslim period, the Shrine was a mosque located in the highest part of the town and oriented towards the Mecca. It was customary for churches to be built over former mosques. The present temple dates back to the 16th century and originally consisted of a single nave. Another nave was later built on the Epistle side of the Shrine.

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.

Brenes-Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Purísima Concepción Church

This Mudejar-style temple was built in the early 15th century. In 1758, the pillars and pointed arches were replaced with Tuscan pillars and semi-circular arches. The side doors were opened at that time, and the tower was renovated. The three-nave temple is divided into five sections with a square-ended presbytery. The naves have half-point arches supported by Tuscan columns.

Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.

Huévar del Aljarafe. Parroquia Ntra. Sra. de la Estrella. Detalle del campanario
Nuestra Señora de la Estrella Church

The tombstone of Gonzalo de Vaena (1591) is the oldest dated record of this church.

The church underwent renovation works in 1755 to repair the damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake of that same year. The works were resumed in 1772 and 1778, giving the church its current appearance.
