Misericordia Charity Hospital

According to documentary evidence, the Charity Hospital was built in the late 15th century (1496) and has been renovated several times until the 18th century. It belonged to the former Confraternity of Holy Mercy who established themselves in the town in 1494. They would later merge with the Confraternity of Holy Charity of Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Lady of Mercy.

Padres Franciscanos Convent

The first reference to the Franciscan Fathers dates back to 1570 when they founded the St Francis Convent. The origin of this Convent can be attributed to the constant visits that the Franciscan friars made to Lebrija in their evangelisation ministry. It has been argued that before they had their own Convent, they would spend the nights at the Shrine to Saint Benedict.
