San Andrés Church and Convent of (Mercedarians)

The original Mudejar portal of the Church from the early 16th century remains. The brick building has a Latin cross plan with a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and lunettes. The temple was founded in 1537 by Gonzalo Jiménez Benjumea as the seat of several chaplaincies.

Casa Lola "La de Lucena"
Casa Lola “La de Lucena”

It is undoubtedly the most picturesque building in the old town. It was built in 1905 by the flamenco singer “Lola, la de Lucena”, and later purchased by the Benjumea family. It was later occupied by a congregation of nuns and is now privately owned.
