Marchena-Iglesia y Convento de San Agustín
San Agustín Church and Convent 

It was built in the mid-17th century in the style of the transition period from Baroque to Neoclassical, with influences from Juan de Herrera and Latin American art. It is a very unique style that is unlike most of the churches in this area, due to both its massive size and unique aesthetics and finishing elements. 

Alcalá de Guadaira-Nuestra Señora del Aguila
Santa María del Águila Church

The Santa María del Águila Church shares a common feature with other Sevillian Mudejar-style parish churches from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Arahal-Casa de la Cultura (Antiguo Palacio del Marqués de Monteflorido)
Casa de la Cultura (former Marquis of Monteflorido Palace)

This stately neoclassical house from the second half of the 18th century belonged to the Sargeant family. The first member of this Sevillian family was Felipe Sargeant. His son, Felipe Sargeant y Salcedo (1744-1788), held the title of I Marquis of Monteflorido, granted by King Carlos III in 1770.

La Puebla de Cazalla-Hacienda Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Hacienda Nuestra Señora del Carmen

The country estate, also known as Hacienda La Fuenlonguilla, is located half a kilometre along the road SE-457. It dates back to the mid-19th century, more specifically 1858. It was used for agricultural and livestock activities. The Hacienda’s original olive oil mill is still in perfect condition, as is the rest of the complex.

La Puebla de Cazalla-Plaza de Andalucía
Plaza de Andalucía

This area was renovated in the 1980s. It was transformed into a public square under the design and direction of Francisco Moreno Galván. It consists of a collonaded courtyard reminiscent of the cloister arcades of a convent. There is a modest fountain in the centre, and a cypress in a corner, reminiscent of the one about which Gerardo Diego wrote and sang.    

Iglesia de Santa María del Alcor
Santa María del Alcor Church

The Parish Church of Santa María del Alcor is built over a Franciscan shrine from 1260. The shrine was formerly dedicated to a Muslim marabout. The church was built between 1470 until the early 16th century. The building has undergone continual renovations.

Villanueva del Río y Minas-Iglesia de Santiago el Mayor
Santiago el Mayor Church

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.
