The Shrine to Our Lady of Incarnation is located within the Celti archaeological site (Asset of Cultural Interest), on San Pedro Street, an extension of Juan Carlos I Street towards Calvario Street, La Viña and the former road from Cordoba to Seville.

The baroque altarpiece houses the image of Our Lady of Incarnation, the titular image of the chapel. The side door, also baroque, dates from 1778. After its renovation, the Shrine is now used as a multi-purpose hall, where conferences, exhibitions, concerts, etc. are held.

Monuments

Bécquer Monument

Next to Bécquer avenue, there is the roundabout of the same name, the monument of which is undoubtedly the most accurate and most appropriate to decorate a romantic garden such as the Maria Luisa park. This idea was developed by the playwrights Serafín and Joaquín Álvarez Quintero, while at the National Fine Arts Exhibition held in Madrid in 1910, a project for a monument to the poet was presented by the sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera. Thanks to this project and the benefits associated with the play La rima eterna, comedia de plácido sueño y de honda poesía (The eternal rhyme, a comedy of peaceful sleep and deep poetry), inspired by the rhyme IV of Bécquer, written by the Álvarez Quintero brothers and premièred at the Teatro Lara in Madrid on 23 November of the same year, the monument to Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer inaugurated in the Parque de María Luisa on 9 December 1911 was paid for. With regard to the carving of the monument to Bécquer, consisting of a bust of the poet and the seated group of three female figures inspired by the Bécquer X rhyme: El amor que pasa (The love that goes by), the sculpture workshop of Federico Bechini Bagnasco, an Italian born in Livorno and established in Barcelona in 1881, was commissioned. With regard to the other two bronze figures that complete this monument, one is a recumbent sculpture called "Wounded Love", and the other is a Cupid, they were made in the artistic foundry of another Italian, Romolo Staccioli, who also lived in Barcelona in 1888. The group of three female figures at the Becquer monument is made of a single piece of marble.

Monuments

Church of the Immaculate Conception

In the 8th century, when Gerena had already been conquered, the church was built from the tower (altar area) towards the door of forgiveness. Moors were involved in its construction, which is why the arches that separate the two parts of the church are of Mudejar style and the roof is a wooden coffered ceiling. The main altar was also built at that time. It was built in several stages from the 8th to the 14th century. In the 16th century, an extension was added to the church from the last column to the door of forgiveness. You can see that the arches here are semicircular while the earlier ones are pointed. The last door is made of bricks (two-coloured) and dates back to the Renaissance. In the eighteenth century the Lisbon earthquake destroyed the tower, which had to be rebuilt. During the Republic (1932), it suffered a major fire. The only thing to survive was a Gothic style carving of a crucifix. The damage it suffered in the fire can still be seen. The roof was rebuilt with vaults and iron in 1936. At the entrance there is a memorial tablet. The altarpiece is a donation from a convent in Carmona, and the fonts are from an old convent in Gerena. The skirting boards are made of Triana ceramics. They are from the Montalbán factory and are made one by one. Some items of Mexican silverwork from Potosi are also preserved, such as the parish cross. In 1970, the altar where the masses are celebrated was installed. It is made of granite from Gerena. It consists of 2 pieces weighing 2,000 kilos. When the hole was made for its installation, a crypt was discovered underneath the altar. It contains 5 boxes of human remains belonging to the heirs of the Counts of Gerena, including the daughter of the Count and Garcia de Leanis (family member). The Count of Gerena bought the villa from Bucarelli, of Italian origin, who was the first Count of Gerena.
