El Gandúl Complex

The El Gandúl complex is located on the outskirts of the city and is considered to be one of the most interesting elements of the city's historical heritage, together with the Castle and the fortified site. The complex comprises the following elements: the Marchenilla Castle, the Gandúl Palace and the Necropolis.

Torre del Bao
Torre del Bao

It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) in 1985. 

The Torre del Bao is located in the town of Los Molares. It stands 120 metres to the west of the Alcalá de Guadaira-Morón road (A-360), at 25 km milestone. It is an outstanding landmark on the road mentioned above.

Carmona-Puerta de Córdoba
Puerta de Córdoba

The Puerta de Córdoba is located at the northeast end of Carmona, on a natural watercourse of the Alcor hill. Formerly, it was one of the four gates of the town.     

This gate was built in Roman times. The Via Augusta crossed the city from Puerta de Córdoba to Puerta de Sevilla along the Cardo Maximo.

La Puebla de Cazalla-Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Las Virtudes
Nuestra Señora de las Virtudes Church

The Parish Church of Our Lady of Virtues is a clear example of the historical path of La Puebla de Cazalla. The Church dates back to the 16th century, when Juan Téllez de Girón, Duke of Osuna, ordered its construction under her advocacy. Both the fortress and the Castle were part of the estate of the Ducal House of Osuna. Consequently, the Duke decided that the town should be repopulated. 

Fuentes de Andalucía-Santa María la Blanca
Santa María la Blanca Parish Church

Its construction began in the late 16th century, under the direction of Diego López de Arenas. Following the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which severely damaged the building, the master-builder Alonso Ruiz Florindo renovated the entire complex. The most eye-catching feature of its main portal is the recessed stretcher bond brickwork.

Los Molares-Castillo de Los Molares
Castillo de Los Molares

The Los Molares Castle is the main monument of this Sevillian town. King Fernando IV granted the property of Los Molares to Lope Gutiérrez de Toledo between 1310 and 1336. This property was a small expanse of land on which a fortress would be built. It is likely that there already was a tower from an earlier period.

Bollullos de la Mitación. Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas
Shrine to Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas

This building was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1931. The Shrine to Nuestra Señora de Cuatrovitas or Cuatrohabitan is built on the site of an Almohad mosque. Only the minaret of the old mosque remains. It was adapted for Christian worship following the Reconquest.
