Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

On a 300 m. high hill in the very centre of the town, stand the ruins of a medieval castle, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

At the top of the village, like a soldier on guard, straight as a rod, stands the “El Molino de Viento”, known today as “Torre de Viento”.

The Navarrese manuscript states that it was built and used as a windmill before 1750.

Jesús Nazareno Bridge crosses the Guadaíra river on the stretch closest to the old town, where several roads converge since medieval times.

It is popularly known as the Roman Bridge because its construction, dated post 15th century, was built in a place where there is proof of an existing Roman structure, although it is not externally visible. 

This alleyway is located in the heart of Utrera’s historical centre. In the past, it was also used as a small gateway through the walls. A cross and a scallop shell, symbols of the Way of St James, grace the entrance to the alleyway. Its whitewashed walls, full of flower pots, take us back to another era.

The Chapel of Nuestra Señora de Escardiel is located three kilometres north-northwest of Castilblanco de los Arroyos, in the so-called 'Chaparral de la Virgen' or 'Chaparral de Escardiel' (42 hectares). It was built on the site of an ancient medieval settlement.

The Padre Martín Recio Archaeological Museum in Estepa (Seville) is located in what was the Estepa’s prison. The Padre Martín Recio Archaeological Museum houses objects found across the region dating from the Palaeolithic to the Middle Ages.
