Iglesia Parroquial Matriz de Santa María Magdalena
St Mary Magdalene Parish Mother Church

A large ancient temple whose history is essentially undocumented. It was extensively renovated in baroque-style between 1733 and 1765.

In the 20th century, during the violent events in 1936, the Church suffered significant damages due to an arson attack and had to be rebuilt later.

Nuestra Señora del Monte Chapel

The current chapel stands on the same site as the original one, which must have been a modest single-nave Mudejar building, preceded or surrounded by porticoes, and flanked by outbuildings such as the house of the santero and the hostelry, where the people of Cazalla worshipped the Virgen del Monte at least since the mid-sixteenth century. 

Capilla de la Soledad
La Soledad Chapel

Formerly the chapel of Santa Maria de la Asuncion and a hospital for pilgrims, it is believed to have been built in the early 16th century. It was located within the old wall that surrounded Gerena. The chapel is a Mudejar-style building with a single nave with a trough roof, a chancel with a hemispherical dome and a choir at the end. It is dedicated to the Hermandad de la Soledad.
