Santa Clara Church

This convent was founded in 1550 by the wife of the 4th Count of Ureña, María de la Cueva. It was initially located in the southern part of the town. However, the Poor Clare sisters did not consider the venue very suitable. They exchanged the convent for building and properties on La Huerta Street in 1559, where it still stands today. 

Navarredonde (El Saucejo). Iglesia del Patriarca Señor San José
Church of the Patriarca Señor San José in Navarredonda

This is an early 18th-century chapel. The Chapel is built in masonry, brick and wood, with a rectangular floor plan, plain walls and roofed by a wooden trough structure, forming its only nave, with the altar at the far end. It also has a lateral sacristy. 

Utrera. Espadaña de la Capilla de la Santísima Trinidad
Santísima Trinidad Chapel

The Confraternity of the Trinity built the chapel in the early 18th century (1719-1723) to worship their titular images.

Gerena. Fachada de la Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción
Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time.

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. 

Iglesia Parroquial de Santa María Magdalena
Santa María Magdalena Parish Church

The former Mudejar parish church was destroyed by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Only the baroque Tabernacle and tower remain. In 1776, the current neoclassical Church was built in its place, under the directions of the architect Lucas Cintora.
