Utrera. Puerta del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Consolación
Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Consolación

The Sanctuary dates back to the early 16th century when Antonio Barrados obtained permission to build a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Consolation. The titular image was gifted by the Nuestra Señora de la Antigua Convent. On 31 March 1561, the chapel was transferred to the congregation of Minimal Fathers. The construction of the convent and church began at that time.

Villaverde del Río-Iglesia Parroquial de la Purisima Concepcion
Purísima Concepción Parish Church

The Church was built in 1755 over a 14th-century temple that was destroyed by the so-called Lisbon earthquake. The reconstruction was paid for by the Archbishop of Seville. The temple owes its current appearance to renovations undertaken in the early 19th century.

Utrera. Portada de la Iglesia de Santiago el Mayor
Santiago el Mayor Church

Santiago is profoundly linked to Utrera’s origin as a city. The original church that stood opposite the Castle was the heart of present-day Utrera. According to the chronicles, the primitive church of Santiago was looted in the second half of the 14th century by Mohamed V of Granada.

Carmona-Iglesia de San Pedro
San Pedro Church

The San Pedro Church was built in the 15th century on the site of the original Shrine to the Virgen de la Antigua. Its baroque appearance is due to later modifications. The main altar was lost to a fire on 2 December 1984. Highlights include its wonderful baroque dome.

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.

Santa María de la Mesa Church

The church was declared a National Historic and Artistic Monument by Decree of 2 February 1979 (BOE of 9 April 1979). The temple, dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, is commonly known as Santa Maria de la Mesa because it stands on a hill. 

Almensilla- Fachada del Ayuntamiento con el reloj
Town Hall Clock

The clock that keeps time for the residents of Almensilla is set into the Town Hall’s bell tower. This handcrafted clock was made in the late 19th century and is still in good working order. The clock has continued to work perfectly to this day due to routine maintenance.
