Seville enchants

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

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. 
 

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. 

The 18th-century temple was built on an old Mudejar temple from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, destroyed by the Lisbon earthquake. The project was completed, among others, by José Álvarez, a neoclassical architect who gave the church its current appearance and style.

The Shrine is located on Jesus Street. This small building was rebuilt in 1888 according to a plaque on the west front.

It has a single altarpiece in the apse, decorated with baroque motifs that have been restored.

The original parish church must have been the chapel of La Magdalena, built next to the castle on the hill that today bears its name.

The Jesuits came to Utrera and founded a convent with a school. The Rodrigo Caro School stands now on that site. All that remains is this church, known as St Francis the New, the sacristy and the meeting room.
