It consists of one nave and two aisles, as well as side chapels. Worthy of note are the pulpit, the high altar and the portals.

The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church was founded in the 18th century on the site of 16th-century Shrine to Cristo de la Sangre. A few Gothic-Mudejar elements from the Shrine still can be seen. 

The Marquises of Estepa used the temple’s crypt as their pantheon for many centuries.

Iglesia Santa María La Blanca

A neoclassical temple built in the fifteenth century. It has interesting decorative elements, sculptures and paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries.

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