Feria

Seville, beautiful and diverse

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.

On 10 October 1548, Pope Paul III issued a Papal Bull authorising the construction of a “Studium Generale” in Osuna, dedicated to the Pure and Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary. Juan Téllez de Girón, 4th Count of Ureña and father of the First Duke of Osuna, requested the authorisation to found a Residential College and a University similar to the one in Alcalá de Henares on his lands.

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.

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.

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. 

The Osuna’s Collegiate Church is a jewel of Renaissance architecture. Founded by Juan Téllez Girón, 4th Count of Ureña, it replaced the old medieval parish church. It is unclear who the architects were.

Named by experts as "the little cathedral of the Sierra Sur" and declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, this is a remarkable building erected between 1506 and 1730 over the ruins of a medieval church. It has three limestone naves with high vaults supported by columns.
