Mairena del Alcor-Iglesia Santa María de la Asunción
Santa María de la Asunción Church

The Santa María de la Asunción Church still preserves traces of its Mudejar-Gothic origin despite the many additions and changes undergone to date. Its origin is likely between the 14th and 15th centuries when Ponce de León was granted the lordship of Mairena.

The former Mudejar parish church was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Only the baroque Tabernacle and tower remain. In 1776, the current neoclassical Church was built in its place, under the directions of the architect Lucas Cintora.

Alcalá de Guadaira-Iglesia de San Sebastián
Iglesia de San Sebastián

A Mudejar building comprised of three naves, coffered ceilings and lateral chapels.

The church was extensively renovated in the 18th century.

It had to be rebuilt after the Civil War, although its original style and structure was preserved.

The most outstanding feature is the beautiful bell gable.

Nuestra Señora del Monte Chapel

The current chapel stands on the same site as the original one, which must have been a modest single-nave Mudejar building, preceded or surrounded by porticoes, and flanked by outbuildings such as the house of the santero and the hostelry, where the people of Cazalla worshipped the Virgen del Monte at least since the mid-sixteenth century. 

Écija-Iglesia de Santa Bárbara
Santa Barbara Church

The church has three naves separated by semi-circular arches on pillars; the central nave is covered by a barrel vault, with groin vaults on the side naves. Although it is mostly a 19th century, neoclassical building, parts of the church are from earlier times. Legend has it that the current structure is built over a Roman palace.
