The church and charity hospital was built in 1592 and 1598, respectively, according to the inscription on the entrance’s entablature.

Utrera. Puerta del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Consolación
Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Consolación

The Sanctuary dates back to the early 16th century when Antonio Barrados obtained permission to build a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Consolation. The titular image was gifted by the Nuestra Señora de la Antigua Convent. On 31 March 1561, the chapel was transferred to the congregation of Minimal Fathers. The construction of the convent and church began at that time.

Alcolea del Río. Capilla del Cristo de la Veracruz
Cristo de la Veracruz

The Cristo de la Veracruz Chapel, commonly known as ‘El Cristo’, is an 18th-century, single-nave building. The decorative flower pots placed by the locals stand out in striking contrast against the Chapel’s whitewashed walls.

The Renaissance image of the Crucified Christ by an unknown artist was acquired in 1939. 
 

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. 

Iglesia del Carmen
Carmen Church

The 16th-century Church originally belonged to the convent of the Barefoot Carmelite Fathers. However, the remains from that time are negligible due to the extensive renovation carried out in the 18th century, and the reconstruction works between 1881 and 1883 that gave it a neoclassical feel. 

Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church

The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Church was founded in the 18th century on the site of 16th-century Shrine to Cristo de la Sangre. A few Gothic-Mudejar elements from the Shrine still can be seen. 

The Marquises of Estepa used the temple’s crypt as their pantheon for many centuries.

Mairena del Alcor-Iglesia Santa María de la Asunción
Santa María de la Asunción Church

The Santa María de la Asunción Church still preserves traces of its Mudejar-Gothic origin despite the many additions and changes undergone to date. Its origin is likely between the 14th and 15th centuries when Ponce de León was granted the lordship of Mairena.
