Morón de la Frontera. Ermita Nuestro Padre Jesús de La Cañada
Chapel of Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Cañada

The chapel is a stone, brick and masonry building dating from approximately 1734, which was extensively restored at a later date.

Iglesia de San José
Church of San José

This church is an 18th century building, made of limestone and pink marble from the Sierra de San Pablo. 

Built over a 17th century church, of which only the first section of the tower remains, its Baroque stone façade is one of its most outstanding features. It has a Latin cross floor plan and the naves are separated by 16 Tuscan columns.

Capilla de la Safa
Chapel of La Safa

The Chapel of La Safa was built in 1983. It is a single-nave building with a half-barrel vault held up by ribbed arches supported by pilasters. The altarpiece, the arms of lateral lamps, the stained-glass windows and the half-height tiling of the old Seville factory of Ramos Rejano are currently preserved.

Marinaleda
Church of La Virgen de La Paz

On entering the district of Matarredonda we can see a beautiful typical Andalusian style church, which exudes all the spirituality of the old pilgrim churches. 

The church belongs to the parish of Marinaleda and is dedicated to the Virgen de la Paz, a Virgin who is the object of great devotion in the province of Seville.

Marchena-Iglesia San Juan Bautista
San Juan Bautista Church

The St John Baptist Church must have been founded after the Christians conquered Marchena. It is likely linked to the presence of the Order of St John, first documented in the 13th century. Only the chapel under the tower remains from that original Church.

Marchena-Iglesia de Santa Isabel
Church of Santa Isabel Convent

This Renaissance temple (1556-1588) has Gothic-Mudejar elements. It belonged to the former Encarnación School founded by Luis Cristobal Ponce de León (second Duke of Arcos) and his wife María de Toledo and run by the Jesuit fathers. Only Church and a beautiful cloister remain from the original building.

Lora del Río. Puerta del Convento Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora
Nuestra Señora Limpia Concepción Convent

It appears that construction of this Convent started in 1618, and took about five years to complete. It was financed by its founders, Jerónimo de Valencia, his wife María de Liñán Cervantes and their daughter, who became a nun of this Order. It is also suggested that Catalina Ortiz, who also became a member of this Order, contributed economically to its construction.
