La Puebla de Cazalla-Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Las Virtudes
Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes Church

The Parish Church of Our Lady of Virtues is a clear example of the historical path of La Puebla de Cazalla. The Church dates back to the 16th century, when Juan Téllez de Girón, Duke of Osuna, ordered its construction under her advocacy. Both the fortress and the Castle were part of the estate of the Ducal House of Osuna. Consequently, the Duke decided that the town should be repopulated.

El Garrobo. Vista panorámica con la Iglesia Parroquial de la Concepción
La Concepción Parish Church

This late 15th-century Mudejar building features some Romanesque elements, such as thick walls.

The transversal arches and side entrance were added in the mid-16th century.

The tower’s bell chamber was built in the Baroque period. The entrance has a modern lintelled porch covered by a groin vault supported by columns.

Capilla de la Soledad
La Soledad Chapel

Formerly the chapel of Santa Maria de la Asuncion and a hospital for pilgrims, it is believed to have been built in the early 16th century. It was located within the old wall that surrounded Gerena. The chapel is a Mudejar-style building with a single nave with a trough roof, a chancel with a hemispherical dome and a choir at the end. It is dedicated to the Hermandad de la Soledad.

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.

Iglesia del Carmen
Carmen Church

The 16th-century Church originally belonged to the convent of the Barefoot Carmelite Fathers. However, the remains from that time are negligible due to the extensive renovation carried out in the 18th century, and the reconstruction works between 1881 and 1883 that gave it a neoclassical feel.
