Seville enchants

The Santiago Church is in the town centre, not very far away from the Fortified Compound and the Santa María del Águila Church.

The foundations date back to 1500. The Gothic floor plan consists of three naves covered with rib vaults. Parts of the Church are Neoclassical (18th century).

It is one of the most significant buildings due to its architectural features.

The shrine, a small Mudéjar-style structure built in the late 13th century, was initially dedicated to Santa María de Carrión. However, nothing remains of it, and the site is now occupied by the structure we see today.

The church was built in the 15th century by the Ducal House of Arcos, the Lord of the town of Los Palacios, who had great devotion to the Lady of the Snows, patron saint of the village.

This church is, without a doubt, the most significant building in Paradas. In the mid-15th century, Juan Ponce de León, Count of Paradas, laid the first stone of the old church over which the current one stands.

The church has three naves separated by semi-circular arches on pillars; the central nave is covered by a barrel vault, with groin vaults on the side naves. Although it is mostly a 19th century, neoclassical building, parts of the church are from earlier times. Legend has it that the current structure is built over a Roman palace.
