Iglesia y Convento de Santa Clara
Santa Clara Conventual Church

The Marquises of Estepa founded the Convent in 1599 when one of their daughters entered the cloister.

The temple was founded later, in 1621. The 17th-century mural painting and the main altarpiece in Baroque-Solomonic-style are worthy of note. As is typical in a convent, it consists of a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and an ante-chancel with a dome. 

Iglesia de San Sebastián en la Plaza Guzmán y Andrés
Parish Church of San Sebastián

The church was built in the last third of the 16th century. It was built with masonry and ashlars and consists of a single nave with external buttresses and a polygonal sanctuary. The main neoclassical-style altarpiece has been recomposed and features modern images, such as the Virgen de la Oliva, made by Sebastián Santos, and patron saint of the town.

El Saucejo. Fachada de la Iglesia de San Marcos
Parish Church of San Marcos Evangelista

The church dates from the mid-17th century, the name of San Marcos being clearly linked to the devotions of the 4th Count of Ureña, Don Juan Téllez Girón (1624-1656). 

Ayuntamiento
Town Hall

The current Town Hall was originally a Jesuit school, to which the El Salvador Church also belonged. The convent was completed in 1621.

During the reign of Carlos III, the Jesuits were dispossessed of their property in this city and the building became a lodge.

Capilla Auxiliar de Nuestra Señora del Rocío
Nuestra Señora del Rocío Auxiliary Chapel

An old, small farmhouse that currently houses the seat of the Confraternity of Our Lady of El Rocío. This religious building, now in disrepair, was decorated by Santiago del Campo. It was initially a farmhouse, that was later used a parish run by the Capuchin friars until the construction of the San Rafael Arcángel Church.
