Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

San Roque Parish Church is located in the Plaza Mártires del Pueblo in the Sevillian town of Las Cabezas de San Juan.

The church was built in 1955-1967, on the site of the old Shrine to San Roque.

Santiago is profoundly linked to Utrera’s origin as a city. The original church that stood opposite the Castle was the heart of present-day Utrera. According to the chronicles, the primitive church of Santiago was looted in the second half of the 14th century by Mohamed V of Granada.

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.

The tombstone of Gonzalo de Vaena (1591) is the oldest dated record of this church.

The church underwent renovation works in 1755 to repair the damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake of that same year. The works were resumed in 1772 and 1778, giving the church its current appearance.

The origin of the San Sebastián Church is unclear, although it was already mentioned in 1498.

The temple, which has a basilica plan, was built in the 16th century according to the design of the Genoese architect Vicente Boyo.

It consists of one nave and two aisles, as well as side chapels. Worthy of note are the pulpit, the high altar and the portals.

This parish church was built in 1964 over the remains of an 18th-century church. The new La Purísima Concepción Parish Church has a modern, avant-garde style.

The single-nave temple with a polygonal presbytery is one of the most significant monuments in the town.

The Confraternity of the Trinity built the chapel in the early 18th century (1719-1723) to worship their titular images.
