Seville, beautiful and diverse

Named by experts as "the little cathedral of the Sierra Sur" and declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, this is a remarkable building erected between 1506 and 1730 over the ruins of a medieval church. It has three limestone naves with high vaults supported by columns.

The Santiago el Mayor Church is an interesting Mudejar-style building. The neo-Gothic and neoclassical altarpieces with 18th and 19th-century images and the 16th and 17th-century goldwork are remarkable.

A three-section belfry stands out among the whitewashed houses of Aguadulce. The church of San Bartolomé appears before the eyes of drivers and walkers, proudly displaying its bell tower, where the bells chime beside a balcony where the luckiest visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the town.

Declared a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 2001

The Santa María la Mayor Church is also home to Estepa’s Museum of Sacred Art, located on the Cerro de San Cristobal.

The Church sits inside the walled compound of Estepa Castle, next to the Santa Clara and San Francisco convents.

This Renaissance church was built in the 18th century to accommodate the order of Benedictine monks. It was the monks themselves who brought the beautiful 16th century font to the church. At the top of the twenty-metre-high bell tower, there are four bells named San Antonio, Jesús, José and María, in homage to the Holy Family.

The Santa Maria de las Nieves Church was built in the fourteenth century; however, it had to be rebuilt after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake as the naves collapsed. The side chapels on the Epistle side, the choir and the belfry were also built during this period. The architects Pedro de San Martín, Tomás Zambrano and Pedro de Silva carried out the reconstruction.
