The original church dating from the late 16th century was renovated in the 17th and 18th centuries, giving it its current style and appearance. The tower was also built in the 18th century.

The Santa Florentina Convent is one of the first Dominican convents in Andalusia. The original building and foundations date back to the second half of the sixteenth century. Today, it comprises several buildings from different periods, mostly the 17th and 18th centuries.

Écija-Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Valle
Shrine to Nuestra Señora del Valle

The Shrine, as it is today, is the result of extensive renovations that started in 1670 and were completed in the 18th century. The building was initially a small quadrifront temple to house the transept. The windows were subsequently closed, and several outbuildings were added to the structure. This small building wraps around the central hall, covered with a dome on squinches.

Carmona-Iglesia de San Bartolomé
San Bartolomé Church

The San Bartolomé Church is located in Carmona’s historic centre, very close to the lower fortress, known as the Alcázar de Abajo or Puerta de Sevilla. 

Although the structure of the temple dates back to the 15th century, it was completely transformed and embellished during the Baroque period. The tower in the façade was also completed at that time.

Carmona-Convento Santa Clara

The Cloistered Convent of the Franciscan Order of Santa Clara was founded with the approval of Pope Pius II and under the aegis of the Duchess of Arcos. It is the oldest of Carmona’s female convents. 

The building has various architectural styles as its construction lasted several years. It is a beautiful combination of Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque.    

Convento Madre de Dios
Madre de Dios Convent

The Madre de Dios Convent is located on the street of the same name, next to the former Chapter House in Carmona’s historic centre.  

It appears that the Dominican community was founded in the early 16th century.  In 1520, the building began to take shape and was gradually integrated into the urban fabric of the old medieval quarter. It reached its maximum size in the 17th century. 

Carmona-Convento de las Descalzas
Convento de las Descalzas

Currently, the convent is occupied by a community of Augustinian Recollects Barefoot Nuns. 

In 1629, this convent was fraudulently founded against the will of the Carmona Chapter.   Nonetheless, it was inaugurated in 1748 in a solemn ceremony.  The church is profusely decorated in true baroque-style, in particular its main façade, with a double entrance and a tower.
