Alcalá de Guadaira-Iglesia de San Sebastián
Iglesia de San Sebastián

A Mudejar building comprised of three naves, coffered ceilings and lateral chapels.

The church was extensively renovated in the 18th century.

It had to be rebuilt after the Civil War, although its original style and structure was preserved.

The most outstanding feature is the beautiful bell gable.
 

Ermita del Calvario
Shrine to The Calvario

This small shrine from the sixteenth or seventeenth century was likely built where a wayside cross was located –a common practice in those days. 

Inside is the 16th-century image of the Our Lady of Sorrows. In the 18th century, the Chapel was covered with a ribbed vault, which is still preserved. 

Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Chapel of Nuestra Señora del Carmen

This simple 18th century chapel is built with plastered masonry. It has a single nave roofed with a vault decorated with Baroque plasterwork.

Outside it has a brick doorway and a double belfry.

Capilla del Cristo de la Veracruz
Chapel of Cristo de la Veracruz

This small shrine on the outskirts of the town was established in the 15th century by a Franciscan community; however, there is very little data available. Given its location on the outskirts, the Chapel was used as a charity hospital in 1601 during an epidemic. 

Capilla Nuestra Señora de los Remedios
Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios Chapel

The Chapel is located opposite the Parish Church, in the namesake square. It formerly housed the Confraternity of Charity, who tended to the sick. 

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.

Isla Mayor-Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen
Our Lady of Carmen Church

It is the oldest temple on Isla Mayor. This iconic building in the King Alfonso XIII hamlet has a single nave and an 18-metre bell tower. The temple built in the Andalusian style with Arabic tiles and bricks has a portico and a tower inspired by the San Roque Church in Seville.
