Seville, beautiful and diverse

The Confraternity of the True Cross in Brenes has several display cases in which they exhibit the valuables of the Confraternity. 

This shrine was built in the late 15th century. It is a Mudejar-style building, with a single nave and a sail vault over the chancel. The Catholic Monarchs ordered it constructions and granted particular graces under the Royal Decree of Graces signed in 1486 in Salamance.

This shrine is located in the area on the outskirts known as “El Algarrobo”. The traditional pilgrimage in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, to whom the shrine is dedicated, is held here. The event dates back to 1613 when it was called the Rose Festival.

The church is located in the high quarter and was built and inaugurated in 1969. The main façade has an access porch with a triple portico of semicircular arches, and above the central arch, there is a ceramic panel with the image of the saint after whom the church is named, San José, who appears with the infant Jesus in his arms.

This church belonged to a Franciscan monastery. It was built in the first half of the 17th century and underwent various alterations in later times, reaching our days greatly transformed.

The Nuestra Señora de Belén Parish Church is located at Plaza de España, the main square in Gines. It was built in late Mudéjar style during the 16th century on the site of an earlier church. It was renovated in the 17th century in the Renaissance style.

In 1400, the Archbishop of Seville gifted the friars of the Third Order of Saint Francis the Parish Church of San Juan de Aznalfarache, which owned the Shrine to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception at Real Street in Castilleja de la Cuesta. At that time, and until 1634, Castilleja de la Cuesta was governed by the neighbouring town of Tomares.
