Ermita del Calvario
Shrine to The Calvario

This small shrine from the sixteenth or seventeenth century was likely built where a wayside cross was located –a common practice in those days. 

Inside is the 16th-century image of the Our Lady of Sorrows. In the 18th century, the Chapel was covered with a ribbed vault, which is still preserved. 

Iglesia y Convento de Santa Clara
Santa Clara Conventual Church

The Marquises of Estepa founded the Convent in 1599 when one of their daughters entered the cloister.

The temple was founded later, in 1621. The 17th-century mural painting and the main altarpiece in Baroque-Solomonic-style are worthy of note. As is typical in a convent, it consists of a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and an ante-chancel with a dome. 

Iglesia de San Sebastián en la Plaza Guzmán y Andrés
Parish Church of San Sebastián

The church was built in the last third of the 16th century. It was built with masonry and ashlars and consists of a single nave with external buttresses and a polygonal sanctuary. The main neoclassical-style altarpiece has been recomposed and features modern images, such as the Virgen de la Oliva, made by Sebastián Santos, and patron saint of the town.

El Saucejo. Fachada de la Iglesia de San Marcos
Parish Church of San Marcos Evangelista

The church dates from the mid-17th century, the name of San Marcos being clearly linked to the devotions of the 4th Count of Ureña, Don Juan Téllez Girón (1624-1656). 

Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Chapel of Nuestra Señora del Carmen

This simple 18th century chapel is built with plastered masonry. It has a single nave roofed with a vault decorated with Baroque plasterwork.

Outside it has a brick doorway and a double belfry.

Capilla del Cristo de la Veracruz
Chapel of Cristo de la Veracruz

This small shrine on the outskirts of the town was established in the 15th century by a Franciscan community; however, there is very little data available. Given its location on the outskirts, the Chapel was used as a charity hospital in 1601 during an epidemic. 

Capilla Nuestra Señora de los Remedios
Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios Chapel

The Chapel is located opposite the Parish Church, in the namesake square. It formerly housed the Confraternity of Charity, who tended to the sick.
