Palacio de Benamejí
Benamejí Palace

The Palace of the Marquises of Benamejí that currently houses Ecija’s Municipal Historical Museum is a landmark of the city’s 18th-century civil architecture. It precisely defines the unique form of the Baroque that developed in Lower Andalusia.

Santa Florentina Convent

The Santa Florentina Convent is one of the first Dominican convents in Andalusia. The original building and foundations date back to the second half of the sixteenth century. Today, it comprises several buildings from different periods, mostly the 17th and 18th centuries.

Arahal-Ayuntamiento de Arahal
Arahal Town Hall

This 16th-century building was renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries. The overall layout and several architectural elements such as capitals, columns and arches are reminiscent of town hall buildings from the Andalusian Renaissance and Baroque periods. 

Iglesia Convento de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria

Although its official name is Our Lady of Candelaria Convent, it has also been known as San Francisco or Victoria convent. It was founded on 1 February 1555 by Juan Téllez Girón, 4th Count of Ureña.    

El Saucejo. Fuente del Moro
La Mezquitilla Fountain or El Moro Fountain

The old Muslim arcade, which dates back to the 12th century, is located in the village of Mezquitilla. It seems to be evidence of the existence of a small Moorish village built around an oratory or Mosque. It is assumed to be from the Almohad period, as it shows clear similarities with other fountains built in the old kingdom of Seville.

Iglesia de Santa María de la Encarnación
Church of Santa María de la Encarnación

This church is of the tower-façade type, of which there are several in the diocese of Seville. It attracts attention because of its originality, specifically because of the marked contrast between the whiteness of its walls and the decorative stone and brick motifs on the main doorway and other parts of the façade.

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.
