Écija-Iglesia de los Descalzos
Concepción Church (Los Descalzos)

This church is considered one of the most significant Baroque buildings in the province of Seville and a jewel of Ecijan Baroque. The Limpia Concepción de Nuestra Señora Church (Los Descalzos) was renovated between 2006 and 2009, under the “Baroque Andalusia” programme of the Andalusian Government. The church had remained closed for 30 years until then.

Convento de San Agustín
San Agustín Monastery

In the 16th and 17th centuries, Cazalla de la Sierra was a nationally important wine-producing centre, and during that period various monastic orders were founded, including the Augustinian order, which founded the San Agustín monastery in the town in 1588 in a chapel called Nuestra Señora de la Soledad.

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario
Church of Nuestra Señora del Rosario

The church is of modern construction. One of the most outstanding features is the main altarpiece, a modern work, which houses the image of the Virgin after whom the church is named, also modern, plus a canvas of San Antonio de Padua and a crucifix in the attic, both from the 18th century. 

Basílica Paleocristiana
Early Christian Basilica

This basilica falls within the peninsular group considered by Palol as typical of the Mediterranean coast, including the Balearic Islands, which is very common in Syria and also widespread in North Africa.

Ermita de San Juan Evangelista
Shrine to San Juan Evangelista – Casa de las Artes

This building has a single nave with transversal arches. Hernández Díaz has dated the structure to the first third of the 14th century based on the semi-circular shape of the apse, the moulding on the presbytery’s toral arch and the entranceways.

Carmona-Iglesia del Salvador
El Salvador Church

This church is located in one of the most important areas in the city, at one end of the main square. The former school of San Teodomiro, founded by the Society of Jesus in 1619, faced this square.

Utrera. Espadaña de la Capilla de la Santísima Trinidad
Santísima Trinidad Chapel

The Confraternity of the Trinity built the chapel in the early 18th century (1719-1723) to worship their titular images.
