Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Purísima Concepción Church

This temple, opened in March 1769, was the first building constructed in this village. Due to the epidemic of “Tercianas” or malaria, the church was used as a hospital for men and renamed “Juan Bautista Alvitt”.

It is a typical baroque church built during Pablo de Olavide’s repopulation initiative under King Carlos III.

Ermita Nuestro Padre Jesús
Nuestro Padre Jesús Chapel

This is an 18th century chapel, built around 1716, on the site of an earlier church. It is built in a simple Sevillian baroque style with a single nave with a hemispherical dome, main altarpiece, choir-belfry and access to the sacristy and brotherhood house from the nave itself.

It has a simple two-section baroque belfry crowning the main façade (Restored in 2011).

Iglesia de San Francisco
San Francisco Church

Originally a 15th-century Gothic building, the appearance was significantly altered in the 17th and 18th centuries to become a baroque-neoclassical Church. The central nave is covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, the side naves with a groin vault and the presbytery by a dome on pendentives.

Iglesia de San Miguel
Church of San Miguel

The most important monument in Lorena is the parish church of San Miguel. It is a building with one nave, roofed with a ribbed barrel vault, to the left-hand side of which another one was added a few years ago. The current construction does not date back beyond the late 18th century, although later renovations can be identified. 

Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción
Parish Church of the Immaculate Conception

The church was built around 1620 by order of the Marquises of Estepa. It is of Romanesque origin, with 18th century renovations and additions. The church originally had a Latin cross floor plan, to which the side chapels and the right nave were later added. Inside, it houses 18th century chapels and altarpieces. 

Convento de los Mercedarios Descalzos del Corpus Christi
Mercedarios Descalzos del Corpus Christi Convent

The Convent of the Barefoot Mercedarians of Corpus Christi with its Conventual Church was built between 1604 and 1617 by Diego Pérez Alcaraz to house a community of Mercedarian friars. 

Iglesia de la Victoria
Victoria Church

This 16th-century building was the conventual church of the Paulist Fathers. Nowadays, due to continual renovation works carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries and, especially in recent times (1965-1974), only the apse and the transept have been preserved. The small chapel to Saint Francis of Paola with baroque plasterwork inside has also been conserved.
